Amaris Salazar · Answer 1

He payed a total of 12.24

we know of that 12.24 he bought one bag of dirt

12.24-3.99=8.25

and each tulip bulb cost. 75 cents so 8.25/.75=11

he bought 11 tulip bulbs

Norah Booker · Answer 2

3.99 + 0.75b = 12.24

0.75b = 12.24 - 3.99

0.75b = 8.25

b = 8.25 / 0.75

b = 11 ... there were 11 bulbs
