Question

A gardener planted a total of 328 Flowers in the garden.The sunflowers were 17 less than thrice the rose flowers and marigold flower were 20 more than rose flowers.what was the number of sunflower marigolds flowers and rose flowers planted?

Answer 1

Let the number of roses be x.
Therefore, number of sunflowers = (3x-17)
and number of marigolds = (x+20)

Now,

x + (3x-17) + (x +20) = 328
=> x +3x + x + 20 - 17 = 328
=> 5x + 3 =328
=> 5x = 328 - 3
=> 5x = 325
=> x = 325/5
=> x = 65



Therefore the number of rose planted was 65 ,
178 sunflowers were planted and 85 marigolds were planted.

Answer 2

( x value is 65) is the answer
