A) The cost of 1 flower is $0.35

Multiply the number of flowers by 0.35 to get the total cost:

4 x 0.35 = $1.40

5 x 0.35 = $1.75

6 x 0.35 = $2.10

B)

Let the number of flowers = X

Multiply the cost of a flower by the number of flowers to get 0.35X

Now you need that to equal the amount she spends so you have:

EQUATION: 0.35X = 14

To find X , divide both sides by 0.35:

X = 14.00 / 0.35

X = 40 flowers.
