Question

Kristina bought 3 times as many yellow roses as red roses. She bought a total of 8 dozen roses. How many of each flower did she buy?

Answer 1

She bought 192 more yellow roses than red roses and 192 less red roses than yellow roses.

Explanation:

8 dozen = 96

96 x 3

24 dozen = 288

She bought 192 more yellow roses as red roses.

288 - 96 = 192

Answer 2

Answer: 24 red roses and 72 yellow roses.

Step-by-step explanation: 3 times 24 roses is 72 roses.

24+72=96 which is equal to 8 dozen (dozen = 12)

12x8=96 roses she bought in total

The answer is 24 red roses and 72 yellow roses :)
