Question

romeo ordered a bouquet of roses for his girlfriend. each rose cost $2.95. and the delivery charge was $8.50. if the total cost was $61.60, how many rose did romeo order

Answer 1

okay first you should subtract 8.50 from 61.60 because the delivery charge doesn't count. 61.60-8.50=53.1. now divide 53.1 by 2.95. 53.1÷2.95=18. Romeo ordered 18 roses for his girlfriend.

Answer 2

Romeo ordered 18 roses.

Explanation:

Romeo ordered a bouquet of roses for his girlfriend.

Each rose cost $2.95. and the delivery charge was $8.50.

Delivery is a one time charge.

Let the number of roses ordered be = x

We get the following equation;

`2.95x+8.50=61.60`

Solving for x now;

`2.95x=61.60-8.50`

=>
`2.95x=53.10`

Dividing both sides by 2.95, we get;

x = 18

Therefore, Romeo ordered 18 roses.
