Jakayla Huerta · Answer 1

X quantity of first plant which cost $7

y quantity of second plant which cost $10

z quantity of third plant which cost $13

{x+y+z=15

{7x+10y+13z=150

There are 8 solutions with spending $150

Five of them are:

1x$7 + 13x$10 + 1x$13

2x$7 + 11x$10 + 2x$13

3x$7 + 9x$10 + 3x$13

5x$7 + 5x$10 + 5x$13

6x$7 + 3x$10 + 6x$13
