Answer: you can buy at most, 41 rose bushes.
Explanation:
Let x represent the number of rose bushes that you can buy.
Each of my rose bushes cost 24 gold coins plus a delivery fee of 16 gold coins. This means that if you buy x rose bushes, the amount that you would pay(in gold coins) plus delivery is
24x + 16
If you have, at most,1,000 gold coins to spend, the inequality that represents this situation would be expressed as
24x + 16 ≤ 1000
24x ≤ 1000 - 16
24x ≤ 984
x ≤ 984/24
x ≤ 41
