Question

if each rose cost $2.95 and the delivery charged $8.50 and if the total cost was $61.60 how many rose did he buy?

Answer 1

He bought 18 roses.

Subtract the delivery charge from the total cost, $61.60 - $8.50 = $53.10
This means just the cost of the roses without delivery was $53.10
Divide the total, $53.10 and divide it by the cost of each rose $2.95
$53.10/$2.95 = 18
