Answer :

Final answer:

To find out how many roses Dan sells in one day, subtract the number given away from the number displayed. To find out how many carnations Dan sells in one day, subtract the number given away from the number displayed. To represent the total number of roses and carnations Dan sells in one day, add the number of roses sold per day to the number of carnations sold per day. To find out how many roses and carnations Dan sells in a week, multiply the number sold in one day by the number of days in a week.

Explanation:

To find out how many roses Dan sells in one day, we start with the number of roses he displays and subtract the number he gives away. The expression is 24 - 10 = 14 roses sold per day.

Similarly, to find how many carnations Dan sells in one day, we use the same method. The expression is 36 - 12 = 24 carnations sold per day.

To represent the total number of roses and carnations Dan sells in one day, we add the number of roses sold per day to the number of carnations sold per day. The expression is 14 + 24 = 38 roses and carnations sold in one day.

To find out how many roses and carnations Dan sells in a week, we multiply the number sold in one day by the number of days in a week. The expression is (14 + 24) * 7 = 266 roses and carnations sold in a week.
