Answer 1

Answer:

If 5:3 is the ratio of cost of a rajnigandha flower and a rose flower, and if the cost of one rajnigandha flower is Rs 8, then the cost of one rose flower is Rs 4.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The ratio of cost of Rajnigandha flower to rose flower = 5:3

That is if the cost of rajnigandha flower is 5x, then the cost of rose flower will be 3x

Given, cost of Rajnigandha flower = Rs 8

That is, 5x = 8

x = 8/5

= 1.6

So the cost of rose flower = 3x = 3*1.6 = Rs 4.8

Therefore the cosa t of rose flower is Rs 4.8
