First, we need to calculate the number of roses and carnations in the basket:
Roses: 30% of 120 = 0.30 x 120 = 36 roses
Carnations: 15% of 120 = 0.15 x 120 = 18 carnations
Now, we can find the total number of orchids:
Total flowers = Roses + Carnations + Orchids
120 = 36 + 18 + Orchids
Orchids = 120 - 36 - 18
Orchids = 66
Therefore, there are 66 orchids in the basket.
Roses: 30% of 120 = 0.30 x 120 = 36 roses
Carnations: 15% of 120 = 0.15 x 120 = 18 carnations
Now, we can find the total number of orchids:
Total flowers = Roses + Carnations + Orchids
120 = 36 + 18 + Orchids
Orchids = 120 - 36 - 18
Orchids = 66
Therefore, there are 66 orchids in the basket.
