Answer 1

She made $117.25

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The price of marigold(M) is $5.75.

The price of daisy(D) is $6.25.

The price of roses(R) is $2.50.

The price of Lilies(L) is $3.75

She sold 8 marigold flats and 10 daisy flats. An hour before closing, she sold 5 bunches of roses at half price and 2 bunches of lilies for 1/3 of the price

Total money Paloma made =
`8M+10D+5* (R)/(2)+2* (L)/(3)`

Now substitute the respective value

Total money Paloma made =
`8(5.75)+10(6.25)+5* (2.50)/(2)+2* (3.75)/(3)`

Total money Paloma made =
`46+62.5+6.25+2.5`

Total money Paloma made =
`117.25`

Hence, she made $117.25
