Assuming that the order of selection is not important, this is a question of number of ways. In other words, the combination should be computed. That is,
Number of ways of selection 5 flowers = 12C5 = 12!/{5!*(12-5)!} = 12!/{5!*7!} = 792
Therefore, there are 792 ways in which 5 flowers can be selected from the available 12 flowers.
You can set this up as an algebraic equation using the ratio:

=

where x = number of skiers
Cross multiply:
x + 1250 = 2x
Solve for x:
-x = -1250
x=1250
To find the number of snowboarders, add 1250.
1250 + 1250 = 2500
1250 skiers and 2500 snowboarders bought season passes.
Answer:
43.6 * 2.94 = 436/10 * 294/100 = (436 * 294)/1000 = 128184/1000 = 128.184
43.78 = forty three and seventy eight hundredths.
