carnations =flowersw<

30% 70%

21 flowers (21*70)/30= 49 flowers

Answer 2

70 flowers

Explanation:

To find the total number of flowers in the vase, given that 30% of them are carnations and there are 21 carnations in the vase, we can use the following equation:

Let "x" be the total number of flowers in the vase.

30% of x = 21

0.30 × x = 21

0.30x = 21

We can now solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 30% (or 0.30 as a decimal):

`\sf (0.30x)/(0.30)= (21 )/( 0.30)`

x = 70

So, there are 70 flowers in the vase.
