Question

Brand want to buy flowers for his friend with $33. The daisies are $1 each and the roses are $2 each. He buys 3 more daisies than roses. How much did the roses cost ?

Answer 1

The roses cost $30, how I got my answer.

Since I know he bought 3 more daisies than roses I can automatically eliminate the 3 from 33 so that leaves 30, then i divided 30÷2=15, then I multiplied 15×2=30 so the roses cost $30 and the daisies cost $18.

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

He bought 15 roses and 18 daisies
