Question

A flower stand sold a dozen bouquets of flowers each of which sold for $10. Today the stand made the same amount of money but the price of a bouquet was increased to $12 how many bouquets were sold today

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given:

Initial number of flowers = 1 dozen

= 12 flowers

Initial selling price = $10

Total price of the flowers = $10 × 12

= $120

Final selling price = $12

Final number of flowers sold = total price/final selling price

= $120/$12

= 10 bouquet of flowers

Answer 2

10 bouquets were sold today

Explanation:

First, we need to find how much money the flower stand made the day it sold a dozen (12) bouquet at $10 each.

Total Selling Price = Number of items × Price of each item

Total Selling Price = 12 × $10 = $120

Today, the bouquets were sold at $12, for the same total selling price of $120, so the number of bouquets sold, using the above formula will be;

Number of Items =
`(Total Selling Price)/(Price Of Each Item)` =
`(120)/(12)` = 10 bouquets
