    B=cost per boquet

    v=cost per vase

    3b+5v=25.75

    8b+2v=29.00

    use eliminateion

    divide 2nd equation by 2

    4b+v=14.50

    multiply it by - 5 and add to other equation to eliminate v

    -20b-5v=-72.5

    3b+5v=25.75 +

    -17b+0v=-46.75

    -17b=-46.75

    divide both sides by - 17

    b=2.75

    a boquet costs $2.75
