Question

A Florist is making bouquets for a wedding he plans to use 15 flowers for every 3 bouquets with the same number of the flowers per bouquet if the florist had to prepare 11 bouquets and currently has 30 flowers how many flowers will the florist need

Answer 1

The florist uses 15 flowers for every 3 bouquets. This means he needs:

15 ÷ 3 = 5 flowers per bouquet.

He plans to prepare 11 bouquets, so he will need:

5 x 11 = 55 flowers

But he only has 30 flowers available, so he needs:

55 - 30 = 25 extra flowers to complete the bouquets.

Answer. 25
