Question

The math club sold roses and tulips this year for Valentine’s day. The number of roses sold was 8 more and 4 times the number of tulips sold. Tulips were sold for $2 each and roses for $5 each. The club made $414.00. How many roses were sold?

Answer 1

Answer : 76


Step by Step Explanation:

Substitute for "r" and solve for "t":
5(4t+8) + 2t = 414
22t + 40 = 414
22t = 374
t = 17 (# of tulips sold)
---
r = 4*17+8 = 76 (# of roses sold)
