Step-by-step explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Number of bouquets of flowers that the Stand sells in one hour = 24
Operating time starts at 9:00 AM and closes at 12:30 PM for a 30-minute lunch break.
From 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM, 3.5 hours, it has sold 24 * 3.5 = 84 bouquets of flowers
From 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM, 5 hours, it will sell 24 * 5 = 120 bouquets of flowers.
Therefore, total bouquets of flowers sold within 8.5 hours = 204 (84 + 120).
