Firstly read the question clearly and take note of all the information's provided. this will make solving the question easier. Number of roses that the florist has = 130 Percentage of roses that the florist has = 65% Let us assume the number of roses that the florist has in total = x Then 65x/100 = 130 65x = 130 * 100 65x = 13000 x = 13000/65 = 200 So the florist had 200 flowers in all. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
