PLZ help

Answer 2

let p be the price the store pays for a plant

they sell the plant for ... p + .75 p ... 1.75 p

75% off means 25% of the regular selling price
... .25 * 1.75 p = .4375 p
... this is less than half of what the store initially paid for the plants

Answer 3

Answer 4

is it profit or loss
