Q. A florist orders exactly 13 \frac{1}{3} gallons of nutrient-rich water for each bushel of flowers he buys. The florist buys bushels of flowers at $1.20 \$ 1.20 per bushel and gallons of nutrient-rich water at $0.60 \$ 0.60 per gallon. Which of the following equations gives the total cost, C(b) C(b) , in dollars, for b b bushels of flowers and the nutrientrich water ordered for them?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) C(b)=(1.2+0.2)⋅b C(b)=(1.2+0.2) \cdot b \newline(B) C(b)=3⋅0.6⋅b C(b)=3 \cdot 0.6 \cdot b \newline(C) C(b)=(1.2+0.6)⋅b C(b)=(1.2+0.6) \cdot b \newline(D) C(b)=7⋅0.6⋅b C(b)=7 \cdot 0.6 \cdot b
  1. Determine cost of bushels: Determine the cost of bb bushels of flowers.\newlineThe cost of one bushel of flowers is $1.20\$1.20. Therefore, the cost for bb bushels is 1.20×b1.20 \times b dollars.
  2. Determine amount of water needed: Determine the amount of nutrient-rich water needed for bb bushels of flowers.\newlineThe florist orders 13\frac{1}{3} gallons of water per bushel. Therefore, for bb bushels, the florist needs 13×b\frac{1}{3} \times b gallons of water.
  3. Determine cost of water: Determine the cost of the nutrient-rich water for bb bushels of flowers.\newlineThe cost of one gallon of nutrient-rich water is $0.60\$0.60. Therefore, the cost for 13×b\frac{1}{3} \times b gallons is 0.60×13×b0.60 \times \frac{1}{3} \times b dollars.
  4. Calculate total cost: Calculate the total cost for bb bushels of flowers and the nutrient-rich water.\newlineThe total cost C(b)C(b) is the sum of the cost of the flowers and the cost of the water.\newlineC(b)=(cost of b bushels of flowers)+(cost of water for b bushels)C(b) = (\text{cost of } b \text{ bushels of flowers}) + (\text{cost of water for } b \text{ bushels})\newlineC(b)=(1.20×b)+(0.60×13×b)C(b) = (1.20 \times b) + (0.60 \times \frac{1}{3} \times b)
  5. Simplify equation for total cost: Simplify the equation for the total cost.\newlineC(b)=(1.20×b)+(0.60×13×b)C(b) = (1.20 \times b) + (0.60 \times \frac{1}{3} \times b)\newlineC(b)=1.20b+0.20bC(b) = 1.20b + 0.20b\newlineC(b)=(1.20+0.20)bC(b) = (1.20 + 0.20)b\newlineC(b)=1.40bC(b) = 1.40b
  6. Match simplified equation with choices: Match the simplified equation with the given choices.\newlineThe correct equation is C(b)=1.40bC(b) = 1.40b, which is not listed in the choices provided. There seems to be a mistake in the simplification process. Let's re-evaluate the calculation in Step 55.

Jill bought a used motorcycle from a seller online for $1,200. The seller will charge her $5 a day to store the motorcycle at his house until she is able to pick it up. You can use a function to describe the total amount of money Jill will owe the seller if she waits xx days to pick up the motorcycle.\newlineWrite an equation for the function. If it is linear, write it in the form g(x)=mx+bg(x) = mx + b. If it is exponential, write it in the form g(x)=a(b)xg(x) = a(b)^x.\newlineg(x)=‾g(x) = \underline{\hspace{3em}}
