    Step-by-step explanation:

    If the gardener bought more white than pink, that could mean he could have bought 12 white and one pink, 11 white and 2 pink, 10 white and 3 pink, 9 white and 4 pink, 8 white and 5 pink, or 7 white and 6 pink.

    If you plug in the numbers, for example with 7 and 6, that would equal $53, which is not correct. Continue to do this with all of the answers.

    With 8 white roses and 5 pink roses, this would equal $55 (40+15), which is the answer.
