Answer:

  • 20 crocus
  • 40 daffodil

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent the number of daffodil bulbs you buy. Then 60-d is the number of crocus bulbs. The total cost will be ...

  0.45(60 -d) +0.65(d) = 35.00

  27 +0.20d = 35

  0.20d = 8 . . . . . . . . . subtract 27

  d = 40 . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 5

  60 -40 = 20 . . . . . crocus bulbs

You can buy 20 crocus bulbs and 40 daffodil bulbs for $35.
