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

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

We need common denominator, which in this case is 40.

6*5 is 30 and 4*8 is 32.

We add these up 62/40

Now add the wholes, 5+4 is 9

We have an improper fraction, which will add 1 to 9, causing the answer to be C.

So I’m not smart so like help meh pleasee<br><br> What is 49% of 200?
____ [38]

Answer:98

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume, that the number 200 is 100%.if 200 is 100%, so we can write it down as 200=100%.We also know, that x is 49% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=49%.Now we have two simple equations:

1) 200=100%

2) x=49%

we multiply both sides of the equation by x.then we divide both sides of the equation.
