Answer:

Let's break down the expressions for each scenario:

i. A row of 5 daffodils and 12 crocuses:

Number of daffodils = 5c (5 times the number of daffodils in a row)

Number of crocuses = 12c (12 times the number of crocuses in a row)

ii. 3 rows of 10 tulips:

Number of tulips = 3(10t) (3 rows, each with 10 tulips)

iii. 4 tubs, each having 3 tulips and 5 crocuses:

Number of tulips = 4(3t) (4 tubs, each with 3 tulips)

Number of crocuses = 4(5c) (4 tubs, each with 5 crocuses)

Now, you mentioned that Naomi plants a total of 50 daffodils, 24 tulips, and 60 crocuses. We can use this information to set up an equation:

Total daffodils planted = 50

Total tulips planted = 24

Total crocuses planted = 60

Given that Naomi plants daffodils (d), tulips (t), and crocuses (c), we can express this as:

Total daffodils = d

Total tulips = t

Total crocuses = c

Now, we can write the equation based on the information provided:

50d + 24t + 60c = 4c + 3t + d

Next, you mentioned that Naomi has used 75% of the daffodils, 80% of the tulips, and 90% of the crocuses. To find out how many are left, we can calculate the remaining percentage:

Remaining daffodils = (100% - 75%) * d = 25% * d

Remaining tulips = (100% - 80%) * t = 20% * t

Remaining crocuses = (100% - 90%) * c = 10% * c

So, Naomi has 25% of the daffodils, 20% of the tulips, and 10% of the crocuses left.

Now, if you need to find the actual numbers for the remaining flowers, you can multiply these percentages by the total number of each flower type:

Remaining daffodils = 0.25 * d

Remaining tulips = 0.20 * t

Remaining crocuses = 0.10 * c

These expressions will give you the number of each type of flower that Naomi has left.
