    Let $x = the cost per flower.

    Number of roses sold = 20

    Profit on 20 roses = $6

    Cost = (30 roses) ($x per rose) = $ 20x

    Revenue = ($0.50 per rose) * (20 roses) = $10

    Profit = $10 - $ 20x = $6

    That is,

    10 - 20x = 6

    20x = 10 - 6

    20x = 4

    x = $0.2 = 20 cents

    Answer: She paid 20 cents per flower.
