⬇️—Answer—⬇️

60 flowers in Chef Morgan’s Restaurant.

⬇️—Solutions (with-steps)—⬇️

We are given the following information :

1) The restaurant has 24 tables.

2) 15 of those tables have 1 flower in each vase.

3) The remaining have 5 flowers

15 of her tables + her remaining tables = 24 of her total tables.

This means, 15 of her tables have one flower in each vase while she has 9 tables which are remaining containing 5 flowers in their vases.

In mathematics each usually means to multiply something. So,

15 x 1 = 15

9 x 5 = 45

15 + 45 = 60

So, there are 60 flowers in total.

To check our answer:

(15 x 1) + (9x5) = 60

Have a wonderful day! :D

Answer: 60 flowers

so 24 tables in total

15 tables have 1 flower= 15 flowers

the other tables have 5 flowers

24 total tables subtract the 15 tables with a flower already= 9 tables

5 flowers for the 9 tables remaining each=45

45 flowers from remaking table + 15 flowers from tables with 1 flower= 60 flowers

hope this helped!
