Question

Warren is going to send some flowers to his wife. Weston Florist charges $2 per rose, plus $40 for the vase. Harper's Flowers, in contrast, charges $3 per rose and $30 for the vase. If Warren orders the bouquet with a certain number of roses, the cost will be the same with either flower shop. How many roses would there be? Write a system of equations, graph them, and type the solution. ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

first you have to find the lcm of 42 and 33

=462

then you're going to take the lcm and subtract the price of the vase from the lcm

=>462-40

=422

then now you're going to take the answer and divide it by the cost of each rose

=>422 ÷ $2

=211 roses at Weston Florist

then you're going to do the same for Harper's flowers

=>462-30

=432

=>432÷3

=144 roses at Harper's Flowers
