1. **State the problem:** Rema buys 140 plants with different costs based on percentages and fractions. We need to find the total cost.
2. **Identify quantities:**
- 35% of 140 plants cost 6 each.
- \frac{1}{4} of 140 plants cost 8 each.
- The rest cost 10 each.
3. **Calculate number of plants in each group:**
- Plants costing 6: $0.35 \times 140 = 49$
- Plants costing 8: $\frac{1}{4} \times 140 = 35$
- Plants costing 10: $140 - (49 + 35) = 140 - 84 = 56$
4. **Calculate total cost for each group:**
- Cost for 6 each: $49 \times 6 = 294$
- Cost for 8 each: $35 \times 8 = 280$
- Cost for 10 each: $56 \times 10 = 560$
5. **Calculate total cost:**
$$294 + 280 + 560 = 1134$$
**Final answer:** The total cost of the 140 plants is 1134.
Plant Cost 15495E
