Full Answer
Any one of: Cost to make, Selling price, Number of flowers used.
A quantitative variable is one that can be measured or counted and is expressed numerically. From the record, the variables that are numbers are: Cost to make (£4.20), Selling price (£8.50), and Number of flowers used (9). Any of these is a correct answer.
Common mistakes
✗ Choosing a qualitative variable like "Colour".
✗ Choosing "Order reference". Although it contains numbers, "57ah" is an identifier, not a measurement, so it is treated as qualitative/categorical data.
