If carnation bushes is c, then the expression representing the number of rose bushes would be...
1.5c - 7
We can create a equation to find out.
since we are finding a number where when multiplied by 1.25(this is the decimal form of the percentage) gives us 25, we know that the number we are finding is less than 25. here is the equation.
1.25(x)=25
divide both sides by 1.25 to get "x" alone.
x= 20
I remember answering the same question, but you didn't attach any photos. But I remember that the answer is the first one.
I hope I helped. Stay safe and God bless!
