Question

Terry is an up-and-coming florist who specializes in weddings. He uses 5 roses, 3 daisies, and 4 bundles of green filler to make one bouquet. If r is the cost of a rose, d is the cost of a daisy, and f is the cost of a bundle of green filler, which expression represents the cost for making 75 bouquets?

Answer 1

75 bouquets cost = (375*r) + (225*d) + (300*f)

Explanation:

Let's find the answer as follows:

1 bouquet = (5 roses) + (3 daisies) + (4 bundles of green filler)

Costs:

1 rose = r

1 daisy = d

1 bundle of green filler = f

Cost for making 1 bouquet:

1 bouquet cost = (5 roses)*r + (3 daisies)*d + (4 bundles of green filler)*f

1 bouquet cost = (5*r) + (3*d) + (4*f)

Cost for making 75 bouquets:

75*(1 bouquets cost) = 75 * ((5*r) + (3*d) + (4*f))

75 bouquets cost = (375*r) + (225*d) + (300*f)

Answer 2

5r=75
r=75/5=15
3f=75
f=75/3
f=25
4d=75
d=75/4
d=18.9
5r+3d+4f+75
