You buy some calla lilies and peonies at a flower store. Calal lillies cost $3.50 each and peonies cost $5.50 each the total cost of 12 flowers is $52. How many calla lilies and how many peonies did you buy?
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity: P + C = 12
\n" ); document.write( "Value:: 5.5P+3.5C = 52
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Modify:
\n" ); document.write( "35C + 35P = 35*12
\n" ); document.write( "35C + 55P = 520
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "20C = 100
\n" ); document.write( "P = 5 (# of Peonies)
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"C\":
\n" ); document.write( "C + P = 12
\n" ); document.write( "C + 5 = 12
\n" ); document.write( "C = 7 (# of Cala lilies)
