It would be 11 if I’m reading this right
5 1/2 = 11/2
11/2 x 3/4 = 33/8 = 4 1/8
answer is B. 4 1/8
B=cost per boquet
v=cost per vase
3b+5v=25.75
8b+2v=29.00
use eliminateion
divide 2nd equation by 2
4b+v=14.50
multiply it by -5 and add to other equation to eliminate v
-20b-5v=-72.5
<span><u>3b+5v=25.75 +</u></span><u />
-17b+0v=-46.75
-17b=-46.75
divide both sides by -17
b=2.75
a boquet costs $2.75
