Answer 1

both cost the same price of 6 dollars for each

Explanation:

we can make a system of equation

d- daylilies

o- ornamental glass

5d+5o=60

8d+5o=78

-8d. -8d

5o=78-8d

5d+78-8d=60

-3d+78=60

-78. -78

-3d= -18

/-3. /-3

d=6

5(6)+5o=60

30+5o=60

-30. -30

5o=30

/5. /5

o=6

they both are 6 dollars each
