Question

Chef Morgan’s restaurant has 24 tables. Fifteen of the tables each have one flower in a vase. The remaining tables have 5 flowers in each vas. How many flowers are there? Show how you found the answer.

Answer 1

60 flowers.

15 tables have 1 flower. 1X15=15

If 15 out of 24 have 1, that means 9 have 5. 9X5=45. 15+45=60

Answer 2

60 tables

Explanation:

Total Number of tables in Chef Morgan's restaurant= 24 tables

Number of tables in each have one flower vase= 15 tables

Number of flowers in 15 table= 1×15= 15 flowers

Number of remaining tables = 24- 15= 9 tables

Number of flowers in each remaining table= 5 flowers

Number of flowers in remaining tables= 9×5 = 45 tables

Total number of flowers= 15+45= 60 tables

Hence, total number of tables= 60 tables

Hence, the correct answer is 60 tables
