Question

in a flower bouquet 13/30 of the flowers were roses 2/5 of the flowers were orchids and the remaining were gladioli if the number of gladioli were 7, how many flowers were there in bouquet

Answer 1

Roses = 13/30 So remaining = 17/30

Orchid = 2/5 out of 17/30 So remaining = 17/30 - 2/5 = (17-12)/30 = 5/30

Gladioli = 7 that is 5/30

Let total flower = x

So 5/30 of x = 7

5/30 * x = 7

x = 7 * 30/5

x = 42

Total flowers = 42
