Explanation:

How much she spent for each plant?

Tracy brought 5 trays of plants for $105. Each tray contained 12 plants.

This means that.

12*5 = 60 plants cost $105.

1 plant costs 105/60 = $1.75

How many more money will Tracy need to spend for 15 additional plants?

Each plant costs $1.75.

1.75*15 = $26.25

Trace will need to spend $26.25 for the additional plants.
