Question

Mr. Bradley purchased 20 trays of flowers. Each tray had 3 dozen flowers. Mr. Bradley's total for all the flowers was 273.60. All the flowers were the same price. How much did each flowers cost?

Answer 1

Answer: Each flower costs $0.38.

Explanation:

1 dozen = 12 units

Flowers in each tray = 3 dozen = 3 x 12 = 36

Flowers in 20 trays = 20 x 36 = 720

Price of 20 trays = $ 273.60

Price of each flower = (Price of 20 trays ) ÷ (Flowers in 20 trays)

= 273.60 ÷ 720

= $ 0.38

Hence, each flower costs $0.38.
