Answer:
r+c=80
.50r+.10c=20
Step-by-step explanation:
each rose costs $0.50
each carnation costs $0.10
The number of roses is r, and the number of carnations is c.
the arrangement has a total of 80 flowers, so we have that:
r + c = 80
the cost is $20, so we have:
r*0.5 + c*0.1 = 20
so our system of equations is:
r + c = 80
r*0.5 + c*0.1 = 20
and we can also solve it; for this isolate one of the variables in the first equation:
r = 80 - c
now let'r replace this in the second equation:
(80 - c)*0.5 +c*0.1 = 20
40 - c*0.4 = 20
c = 20/0.4 = 50
this means that we have 50 carnations, and the other 30 are roses.
