60% of what equals 27? This is the question. "Of" always means multiply.
So... convert the percent to a decimal: .6x=27.
Divide: x=27/.6
x=45
Plug it back in to check: .6(45)=27
27=27.
Or: 27/45=.6
.6=.6
Answer: the number of roses sold is 69 while number of tulips is 37
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of roses that the flower shop sold.
Let y represent the number of tulips that the flower shop sold.
The number of roses sold was 5 less than twice the number of tulips sold. This means that
x = 2y - 5 - - -- -- - - - - - ;1
If the shop sold 106 flowers in total, it means that
x + y = 106
Substituting x = 106 - y into equation 1, it becomes
106 - y = 2y - 5
3y = 106 + 5 = 111
y = 111/3 = 37
x = 106 - y = 106 - 37
x = 69
