Answer:

One rose = $2.75

One carnations = $1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets make the rose = x

and carnations = y

Jeb >> 6x + 3y = 20.25

Lori >> 8x + 3y = 25.75

Solve simultaneously using elimination method.

8x + 3y = 25.75

- 6x + 3y = 20.25

_______________

2x =5.5

2x/2 = 5.5/2

x = 2.75

plug 2.75(x) into any of the two equations to find y.

6(2.75) + 3y = 20.25

16.5 + 3y = 20.25

3y = 20.25 - 16.5

3y = 3.75

3y/3 = 3.75/3

y = 1.25
