11F+13H=1025
but 10H=450, so H=45
substitute
11F+13(45)=1025
11F=1025-585=440
F=$40 per flowering plants

From the condition, it should be clear to you that the price per crate of herbs is 45 monetary units.


Therefore, from 1025 monetary units, subtract 13*45 to find the cost of 11 crates of flowering plants.


The last step is to divide this difference by 11 to find the price per crate of flowering plants.
