Question

Tatiana ordered a floral arrangement with 60% Rose's. The florist told her she would put 25 roses in the arrangement. How many total flowers should Tatiana expect in the floral arrangement she ordered?

Answer 1

Answer:The total number of flowers that Tatiana should expect in the floral arrangement she ordered is 42

Explanation:

Let x represent the total number of flowers that Tatiana ordered. Tatiana ordered a floral arrangement with 60% Rose's. This means that the number of Rose that is in the floral arrangement would be

60/100 × x = 0.6 × x = 0.6x

The florist told her she would put 25 roses in the arrangement. This means that

0.6x = 25

x = 25/0.6 = 42
