Question

Mrs delgato needs to buy 50 begonias for her flowerbed,acording to the price shown ,how much would she save if she bought them by the flat instead of separately ? begonias $1.75 each $35.50 per flat (25 plants per flat)

Answer 1

separately : 50 x 1.75 = 87.50
by flats : she would need 2 flats because she needs 50 and each flat contains 25.....2 x 35.50 = 71

so by buying by the flat, she would save : 87.50 - 71 = 16.50
