Explanation:
Ken wants to spend part of the $35 on one daisy plant that costs $12.95. First, we need to subtract the cost of the daisy plant from his total amount to find out how much he will have left for carnation seed packets.
$35.00 - $12.95 = $22.05
Now Ken has $22.05 to spend on carnation seed packets. Each carnation seed packet costs $4.95. To find out how many packets he can buy, we divide the remaining money by the cost per packet.
$22.05 / $4.95
Ken can only buy whole packets of seeds, so he can buy 4 packets of carnation seeds with the money he has left after purchasing the daisy plant. He would have a little money left over because he can't buy a fraction of a packet.
To find out how much money he has left after purchasing the 4 packets, we can multiply the number of packets by the cost per packet and subtract that from the remaining $22.05.
4 packets * $4.95/packet = $19.80
$22.05 - $19.80 = $2.25
So, Ken can buy one daisy plant and 4 packets of carnation seeds, with $2.25 left over.
