Answer 1

Answer:

Romeo ordered 18 roses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Romeo ordered a bouquet of roses for his girlfriend.

Each rose cost $2.95. and the delivery charge was $8.50.

Delivery is a one time charge.

Let the number of roses ordered be = x

We get the following equation;

$2.95x+8.50=61.60$

Solving for x now;

$2.95x=61.60-8.50$

=> $2.95x=53.10$

Dividing both sides by 2.95, we get;

x = 18

Therefore, Romeo ordered 18 roses.

Answer 2

Okay first you should subtract 8.50 from 61.60 because the delivery charge doesn't count. 61.60-8.50=53.1. now divide 53.1 by 2.95. 53.1÷2.95=18. Romeo ordered 18 roses for his girlfriend.
