Answer:

9 bunches of roses and 13 bunches of lilies

Explanation:

To answer this question, we need to divide:

100 ÷ 12 = 8.3333333

and

100 ÷ 8 = 12.5

Since you cannot order part of a bunch, round up.

So, the florist can order:

9 bunches of roses

and

13 bunches of lilies

Hope this helps :)
