Question

Diane sold nine decorated the flowers that cost the same amount each plus a dozen roses for $28. All together she sold $73 in flowers. How much was each decorated flower?

Answer 1

$5. I did this problem in class

Explanation:

Answer 2

First, subtract the price of the roses from the total price of the flowers to get the price of the decorated flowers.
$73-$28= $45
Divide $45 by the number of decorated flowers to get the price of one flower
$45/9=$5
Each flower is $5
