    The required number of plants is 10.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Nursery P charges $15 per plant plus a $50 delivery fee on any order. Nursery Q charges $20 per plant and no delivery fee.

    If x number of plants that must be delivered for the total cost to be the same at both nurseries, then

    15x + 50 = 20x

    ⇒ 5x = 50

    ⇒ x = 10

    Therefore, the required number of plants is 10. (Answer)
