Answer: They can afford $1200 .

Explanation:

Given : The total cost = $ 1500

Gardening store can afford
$\frac45$ of the total cost.

Then, the amount they can afford can be computed as:

$\frac45* \text{(Total cost)}\\\\=\frac45*(1500)\\\\=4*300\\\\=1200$

i.e. The amount the store can afford = $ 1200

Therefore, they can afford $1200 .
