Problema Solution

stephanie bought between 2 and 6 bags of potting soil for her flowers. The soil cost $2.79 a bag. What was the total cost of the potting soil?

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'x' be the total number of begs she bought


2 <= x <= 4


the total cost of x bags of soil is x*2.79


and also we have


2*2.79 <= x*2.79 <= 4*2.79


5.58 <= x*2.79 <= 11.16


the total cost of the potting soil is between $5.58 and $11.16.
