The flowers cost $9, the clay pot costs $20 more than the flower, and the bag of soil costs $2 less than the flower. How much does it cost to plant the flowers? Let's answer step by step:
The clay pot costs $20 + $9 = $29. The bag of soil costs $9 - $2 = $7. The cost to plant the flowers is $9 + $29 + $7 = $45. The answer: 45.
