Answer:

48f + 140 = 572

9 flowers

Step-by-step explanation:

Isabella gets a fixed payment of $140 per week and in addition to that, she gets $48 per flower that she delivers to the biologist.

In the last week, Isabella earned $572 from the biologist.

If she delivers f numbers of flowers to the biologist then the equation of Isabella's earning will be  

48f + 140 = 572 ......... (1)

Now, solving this equation (1), we get 48f = 432, ⇒ f = 9

Therefore, she collected 9 flowers last week. (Answer)
