Answer:

The number of bouquets of flowers that the stand will sell by 6:00 PM is:

C) 204

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Number of bouquets of flowers that the Stand sells in one hour = 24

Operating time starts at 9:00 AM and closes at 12:30 PM for a 30-minute lunch break.

From 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM, 3.5 hours, it has sold 24 * 3.5 = 84 bouquets of flowers
