Floral Beauty, Inc., is a large floral arrangements store located in Asheville Mall. Bridal Lilies, which are a specially created bunch of lilies for bridal bouquets, cost Floral Beauty $17 each.

Floral Beauty is now considering a new supplier of Bridal Lilies. Each lily would cost only $16.50, but to get this discount, Floral Beauty would have to buy shipments of 3,000 Bridal Lilies at a time.
