Hey there. I'm Avery, and I'm here to help you with your amazing question! <33
I believe the answer is: $16.95 per fern tree.

[~Answer Explanation~]:

first, you want to find how much money the 7 balloons cost:

7(2.30) = 16.10

second, you want to find how much money you have left AFTER buying 7 balloons:

50 - 16.10 = 33.90

third, divide the money you have left by 2 (2 fern trees) to find the final answer:

33.90/2 = 16.95
