Answer:

Answer: She bought 28 daises and 10 Tulips.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of daises bought.
Let y represent the number of tulips bought.
Your friend want to have 38 of her favorite flowers. This means that
x + y = 38
Her favorite flowers are daisies at 1.50 each and tulips at 2.50 each if the total bill was 67, it means that
1.5x + 2.5y = 67 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1
Substituting x = 38 - y into equation 1, it becomes
1.5(38 - y) + 2.5y = 67
57 - 1.5y + 2.5y = 67
- 1.5y + 2.5y = 67 - 57
y = 10
x = 38 - y = 38 - 10
x = 28
