The price of flowers in September exists $1.25.

Total money released in October = $420.

The class gained more money in September and they gained $30 better than in October.

Part A

Let the cost of flowers in September be x, then

(100 + 20)/100 [tex]*[/tex] x = $1.50

120/100 [tex]*[/tex] x = $1.50

1.2x = $1.50

x = $1.50/1.2 = $1.25

The price of flowers in September exists $1.25

Part B

Total money released in September = $1.25 [tex]*[/tex] 900 = $1,125

40% earned = 0.4 [tex]*[/tex] $1,125 = $450

Total money released in October = $1.50 [tex]*[/tex] 700 = $1,050

40% earned = 0.4 [tex]*[/tex] $1,050 = $420
