Question 775435: A floral shop receives a $384 order for roses and carnations. The price per dozen for the roses and carnations are $18 and $12 respectively. The order contains as many roses as carnations. How many of each type of flower are in the order? Answer by sofiyac(983) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! since the number of roses is the same as carnations lets say we have x DOZEN roses and x DOZEN carnations.
The price quoted is per dozen, so per 12 flowers
18x+12x=384
30x=384 divide each side by 30
x=12.8
now remember we said we had x dozen, so we have to multiply x by 12 in order to get the actual number of each flower
12.8*12=153.6 so there are 153 of each flower
