is $4.00, regardless of the number of bushes ordered.

Flower Shop
Rose Bushes: $7.50 each
Shipping: $4.00

Ms. Yanez budgeted $60.00 for the rose bushes. She believes that the maximum number of rose bushes she can
order is 8. Is her conclusion reasonable?
A No, because if x represents the number of rose bushes, then the total charge is 7.50x + 4, or 7.50(8) + 4,
or $64.
B No, because if x represents the number of rose bushes, then the total charge is 7.50x, or 7.50(4), or $30.
C Yes, because if x represents the number of rose bushes, then the total charge is 4x + 7.50, or
D 4(8) + 7.50, or $39.50.
E Yes, because if x represents the number of rose bushes, then the total charge is 7.50x, or 7.50(8), or $60.
