  X=trees ; y=shrubs
  211.25 = 5x + 15y
  211.25 = 5(y+15.25) + 15y
  211.25 = 5y + 76.25 +15y
  211.25 = 20y + 76.25
  135=20y
  y=6.75
  Each shrub costs P6.75.
  While each tree (represented by x) costs 6.75+15.25 or P22.00
  Check:
  5 trees and 15 shrubs
  = 5(22) + 15(6.75)
  = 110 + 101.25
  = 211.25
