Answer:

320 minus 7.50 p

Step-by-step explanation:

the florist earned 320 dollars and then lost money due to having a competitor deliver, since we dont know the amount of people who chose competitors we use the term p next to the amount that p is worth because each time a customer uses a competitor it costs 7.50 out of the original 320.
