To solve this problem, let's assume Jim bought x petunias and y begonias.
From the given information, we can set up the following equations:
x + y = 19 (Jim bought 19 potted plants in all)
11x + 15y = 225 (Jim spent a total of $225)
Solving this system of equations, we find that x = 4 and y = 15.
Therefore, the correct statement would be: "Jim bought 4 petunias."
Jim bought some potted plants:
Petunias cost $11 per pot and Begonias cost $15 per pot.
Jim bought 19 potted plants in all and spent a total of $225 on the plants.
Which would be a correct statement?
