Answer 1

For this case we have the following expression:
 $3r + 2.5p$
 Where,
 r: number of roses
 p: number of petunias
 We want to find the cost of 7 roses and 8 petunias
 Therefore, we must replace the following values:
 $r = 7 p = 8$
 Substituting the values in the given equation we have:
 $3 * (7) + 2.5 * (8) = 41$
 Answer:
 the cost of 7 roses and 8 petunias is $ 41
