Part A
Her estimated value is correct becoz , total price will be $14.07i.e 6 Roses = $5.29 given half dozen.4 Carnations = (3.59/6)4=$2.3933 approx. Atlast 8 Tulips =(4.79/6)8=$6.38 approx
So grand total will be 5.29+2.39+6.38=$14.06
Part B
Price of vases is $3.59×2 i.e $7.18
Tax is around $1.34
Let price of beads be X
So total price is 1.34+7.18+14.07+X=28.5
=> 22.59+X=28.50 .So x=$5.91
Approx $6 then price of one bead pack will be 6/4=$1.5 or $1.4775
