Question

The local florist offers 7 bouquets of roses for $35 and 4 bouquets of lilies for $22. Calculate the unit price for each bouquet

Answer 1

To calculate the unit price for each bouquet, we need to divide the total cost of each type of bouquet by the number of bouquets.

For the roses:
Unit price for roses = Total cost of roses / Number of bouquets
Unit price for roses = $35 / 7 bouquets
Unit price for roses = $5 per bouquet

For the lilies:
Unit price for lilies = Total cost of lilies / Number of bouquets
Unit price for lilies = $22 / 4 bouquets
Unit price for lilies = $5.50 per bouquet

So, the unit price for each bouquet of roses is $5 and for each bouquet of lilies is $5.50.
