MULTI-STEP PROBLEM A customer of your flower shop wants to send flowers to 23 people. Each person will receive an \(\$ 11.99\) "sunshine basket" or a \(\$ 16.99\) "meadow bouquet." a. Let \(s\) represent the number of people who will receive a sunshine basket. Which function can you use to find \(C\), the total cost of sending flowers to all 23 people, depending on how many of each arrangement is sent? (A) \(C=16.99(23-s)+11.99 s\) (B) \(C=11.99 s+16.99(23)\) b. If 8 people receive a sunshine basket, what is the total cost of the flowers? c. If 13 people receive a meadow bouquet, what is the total cost of the flowers? d. CRITICAL THINKING If your customer can spend only \(\$ 300\), what is the greatest number of people that can receive a meadow bouquet?
