Key Math Vocab Problem: Eduardo and Nicole each improved their yards by planting Hostas and ornamental grass. They bought their supplies from the same store. Eduardo spent $183 on 14 Hostas and 5 bunches of ornamental grass. Nicole spent $120 on 7 Hostas and 12 bunches of ornamental grass. Find the cost of one Hosta and the cost of one bunch of ornamental grass. Problem Written Steps 1) Eduardo and Nicole each improved their yards by planting Hostas and ornamental grass. They bought 1) Underline, circle and/or highlight important information their supplies from the same store. Eduardo spent in the problem. $183 on 14 Hostas and 5 bunches of ornamental grass. Nicole spent $120 on 7 Hostas and 12 bunches of ornamental grass. Find the cost of one Hosta and the cost of one bunch of ornamental grass. 2) Determine what you are trying to find and define your ℎ = cost of one Hosta variables. 2) 𝑔 = cost of one bunch of ornamental grass 3) Organize the known information. 3) Eduardo: $183 total, 14 Hostas, 5 grass Nicole: $120 total, 7 Hostas, 12 grass 4) Write an equation for both situations. 4) Eduardo: 14ℎ + 5𝑔 = 183 Nicole: 7ℎ + 12𝑔 = 120 5) A system of equations is a set of two or more equations 14ℎ + 5𝑔 = 183 that are somehow related. 5) - 7ℎ + 12𝑔 = 120 6) Solve the system of equations using any method. 6) Now find a combination of Hostas and ornamental grasses that will meet both Eduardo’s and Nicole’s needs.
