Answer:
32 daffodils bulbs and 28 crocus bulbs
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming 'x' as Crocus and 'y' as daffodil. Now we'll form equations.
-> for 60 small flowering bulbs
x+y=60
x=60-y --->eq(1)
->Crocus bulbs cost $0.25 each and daffodil bulbs cost $0.65 each with the budget $27.80
0.25x + 0.65y = 27.80 -->eq(2)
Next is to substitute x=60-y in eq(2)
(2)=>0.25(60-y) + 0.65y = 27.80
15 - 0.25y + 0.65y = 27.80
0.4y = 12.8
y = 12.8/ 0.4
y= 32 daffodil bulbs
Now, plugging the value of y in eq(1)
(1)=>x=60-32
x= 28
x=28 crocus bulbs
Therefore, you can buy 32 daffodils bulbs and 28 crocus bulbs
