Question

Student Council bought Mrs. Donnelly two dozen (24) roses. 1/4 of them were white roses and the rest were red. How many red roses were there? *

Answer 1

Answer:

18 red roses

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of white roses = 24×1/4

                                      = 6

Number of red roses =  24-6

                                   = 18

Another way is:

Number of red roses = 24×3/4

                                   = 18
