Oct -- 1.50 per flower
Sept -- 
20% of 1.50 = 0.2(1.5) = 0.30 : 1.50 - 1.30 = 1.20 per flower

Part B : 
Sept : sold 900 flowers at 1.20 .....900 x 1.20 = 1080
40% of 1080 = (0.4)(1080) = 432

Oct : sold 700 flowers at 1.50...700 x 1.50 = 1050
40% of 1050 = (0.4)(1050) = 420

earned more money in Sept.
