Answer 1

Answer:

8 roses

Step-by-step explanation:

First start by subtracting $18.69 by $5.25 because you already know how much the carnations cost and how much the bouquet cost in all. When you subtract 18.69 by 5.25 you should get $13.44. If each rose cost $1.68 then divide 13.44 by 1.68 to get the amount of roses in the bouquet.
