A company paid $ 391 for 15 bushes and 8 bonsai trees . They had to purchase 9 more bushes and 5 more bonsai trees for $ 241 . What is the cost of each bush and bonsai tree ? the boxes below .

Cost of one bush = x = $9

Cost of one bonsai tree = y = $32

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Cost of one bush = x

Cost of one bonsai tree = y

From the expression: A company paid $ 391 for 15 bushes and 8 bonsai trees

We made equation:

and From the expression: They had to purchase 9 more bushes and 5 more bonsai trees for $ 241 , we made equation:

Solving both equations simultaneously we can find value of x and y

Let:

We will use elimination method to solve these equations.

Multiply eq(1) by 5 and eq(2) by 8 and subtract

So, value of x=9

Now finding value of y by putting value of x in equation 1

So, value of y=32

Cost of one bush = x = $9

Cost of one bonsai tree = y = $32
