Question

Bryan, Angela, Elan, and Fiona folded some paper flowers for their school fund-raising project. Elan folded one-fifth of the paper flowers and Bryan folded 25% of them. Angela and Fiona folded the remaining ones in the ratio 1:8. Bryan folded 9 more than Elan.a)How many paper flowers did Fiona folded?b)If each bouquet of 10 flowers was sold at $9, how much money did they raise for school?

Answer 1

a) 88

b) 162 $

Explanation:

Given Bryan sold 9 more flowers than Elan

1/4 x - 1/5 x = 9

x/20 = 9

x = 180

Flowers with Bryan = 45

Flowers with Elan = 36

45+36 = 81

Remaining flowers = 99

Flowers with Fiona = 8/9 * 99 = 88
