Question

A florist used the equation Y=KX to determine how many

flowers she'd need for 7 bouquets. She determined she'd need
175 flowers. How many flowers were in each bouquet?​

Answer 1

25 flowers

Explanation:

You would have to plug in.

Since 175 is the amount of flowers in total, 175 = Y.

This means KX has to be the number of bouquets times the amount of flowers per bouquet.

Plug the 7 in for K.

This makes your equation:

`175 = 7x`

Solve by diving both sides by 7.

This will get x by itself.

`(175)/(7) = (7x)/(7)`

You should come up with:

`25 = x`

Your answer is 25 flowers per bouquet.
