Answer:

the shop lost $922.20 by giving away free vegetable plants.

Step-by-step explanation:

you would start by dividing 636 by two to see how many free vegetable plants were given away.

636 / 2 = 318

this shows us how many free vegetable plants were given for free, so then to find how much money the store lost giving them away for free, you would multiply 318 by 2.9

318 x 2.9 = 922.2

Therefore the shop lost $922.20 by giving away free vegetable plants.
