To find the cost of one rose, we can start by calculating the total amount spent on the roses.
Jalal spent a total of 74.25 dollars, and the vase cost 34.50 dollars.
First, we subtract the cost of the vase from the total amount spent:
\[
\text{Total spent on roses} = \text{Total spent} - \text{Cost of vase}
\]
\[
\text{Total spent on roses} = 74.25 - 34.50 = 39.75
\]
Now, we know that Jalal bought 5 roses for a total of 39.75 dollars. To find the cost of one rose, we divide the total cost of the roses by the number of roses:
\[
\text{Cost of one rose} = \frac{\text{Total spent on roses}}{\text{Number of roses}} = \frac{39.75}{5}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
\text{Cost of one rose} = 7.95
\]
Therefore, the cost of one rose is **7.95 dollars**.
