Final answer:

After substituting x = 5 into the polynomial expression 5x² + 32x - a, which represents the cost of the pink roses, the total amount Meera spent on flowers for the photo booth is 285 - a. The exact total depends on the value of 'a'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to calculate the total amount Meera spent on pink roses for a photo booth. Given that the cost for the pink roses is represented by the polynomial ₹ 5x² + 32x - a, and the cost per rose is ₹ x + 5, we need to calculate the total cost for an 'x' number of roses. With x being equal to 5, we substitute the value of x back into the polynomial expression to find the total amount spent on flowers.

First, we'll substitute x = 5 into the expression:

Total cost = 5x² + 32x - a
= 5(5)² + 32(5) - a
= 5(25) + 160 - a
= 125 + 160 - a
= 285 - a

Now, without the specific value for 'a', we cannot determine the exact amount spent. However, 285 - a is the expression that represents the total amount. So the answer depends on the value of 'a' that Meera might have as a discount or an additional cost that isn't specified in the question.
