☆Answer☆
24
☆Explanation ☆
Let radha has total x flowers. She offers x/2 flowers at the 1st temple. After visiting the 1st temple she has (x-x/2)=x/2 flowers.
She offers x/4 flowers at the 2nd temple. Then (x/2-x/4)=x/4 flowers left.
Lastly she offers x/8 flower at 3rd temple. Then she has (x/4-x/8)=x/8 flowers.
∴, x/8=3
or, x=24 flowers
