The store is having a sale on plants, and they are marked down to $3.50 each. Olivia has a budget of $52. The flat rate delivery fee is $6.50. How many plants can Olivia purchase at the sale price?(1 point)

Answer 1

Olivia can purchase 14 plants at the sale price.

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

Then, divide Olivia's budget by the sale price of each plant to find out how many she can purchase: $45.50 / $3.50 = 13 plants.

Since Olivia can't purchase a fraction of a plant, she can purchase 14 plants in total.
