Question

7 Sandeep buys some flowers.

He has 5000 rupees to spend.
He buys 6 carnations at 220 rupees each.
He also buys some roses at 295 rupees each.
Sandeep should receive 140 rupees in change from his 5000 rupees
Work out how many roses Sandeep buys.

Answer 1

Sandeep buys 12 roses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sandeep buys 6 carnations at 220 rupees each, which costs him a total of 6 x 220 = 1320 rupees.

He has 5000 rupees in total, and he should receive 140 rupees as change.

The amount of money spent on roses can be calculated by subtracting the amount spent on carnations and the change he received from his total budget: 5000 - 1320 - 140 = 3540 rupees.

Since roses cost 295 rupees each, we can divide the amount spent on roses by the cost of each rose to find the number of roses Sandeep buys: 3540 / 295 = 12 roses.

Therefore, Sandeep buys 12 roses.

Answer 2

Well, if Sandeep has 5000 rupees to spend, he spend it on 5 carnations at 220 rupees each so he spends 1320 rupees on carnation

Now he spends 295 for each rose
Let us assume the price of the rose to be x rupees

He remains with 140 rupees

5000 - 1320 - 295x = 140
295x = 3450
x = 12
