Answer 1

Hey there !

Solution:

Let the number of flowers be 'x'

So Radha visited 3 temples in total. And at each temple she offers one half of the flowers remaining in the basket.

So At first temple, She offers exactly half the flowers.

( x / 2 ) is offered. So remaining flowers is ( x - x / 2 )which is ( x / 2 ) amount of flowers are remaining.

At the second temple she offers half of the remaining.

x / 2 * 1 / 2 = x / 4 is the remaining flowers.

At the third temple she offers half of the remaining and she has 3 flowers left still. Donation at third temple is;

x / 4 * 1 / 2 = x / 8 is the remaining amount of flowers

So x / 8 is the remaining amount of flowers after she visits 3 temples.

$So \:\: \dfrac{x}{8} = 3 \\ \\ \implies x = 8 \times 3 = 24 \\ \\ \boxed{ \text{ Therefore there were 24 flowers in total before she visited the temple.}}$

Hope my answer helped !
