plants

Answer 1

Olivia can purchase 12 plants at the sale price of $3.50 each.

Explanation:
First, we need to subtract the delivery fee from Olivia's budget:
$52 - $6.50 = $45.50

Next, we need to divide Olivia's remaining budget by the cost of each plant to find out how many plants she can purchase:
$45.50 / $3.50 = 12 plants

Therefore, Olivia can purchase 12 plants at the sale price.
