Answer:

Each tulip costs $1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

First, write an equation using the numbers given. It should look like this:

2.25(8) + 5x = 25.50

Next, multiply 2.25 by 8 to get: 18 + 5x = 25.50. Then, subtract 18 from both sides:

18 + 5x = 25.50

-18           -18

5x = 7.50

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 5 to get $1.50

So, each tulip costs $1.50. Hope this helped!
