Question

Kelsey bought some roses and tulips.She bought twice as many tulips as roses. Roses cost $5 each. Tulips cost $2 each .Kelsey spent $36 total. How many of each kind of flower did Kelsey buy ?

Answer 1

Answer: 4 roses and 8 tulips.

Step-by-step explanation: Each rose costs $5, so she bought 4 of them, which is $20 so far. Since she already bought 4 roses, she bought twice that amount for tulips, which is 8. Each tulip costs $2, so that's $16. Add both $20 and $16 and you have $36.

Hope this helps! :)
