Ali can buy 3 flowers of lilies, 3 flowers of roses, and 18 flowers of daisies.

Suppose Ali buys x flowers of lilies, y flowers of roses, and z flowers of daisies.

According to the question

x+y+z = 24......(1)

3x+2y+0.5z = 24.......(2)

Here, we have three variables but only two equations.

2(2)-(1) gives, 5x+3y = 24......(3)

Since, x, y and z can take only integer values.

What are integers?

Numbers that are not fractions called integers.

So, from (3) only x=3 and y=3 is possible

So, z= 24-x-y

z=24-3-3 = 18

So, Ali can buy 3 flowers of lilies, 3 flowers of roses, and 18 flowers of daisies.

Therefore, Ali can buy 3 flowers of lilies, 3 flowers of roses, and 18 flowers of daisies.
