Question

the friendly old woman sold 38 long-stemmed roses on street corner A and 45 on street corner b (all at the same price). if the old woman sold $124.50 in total, what was the price of each rose?

Answer 1

Let x be the price of each rose.

Let's set up an equation based on the information given:

38x + 45x = 124.50

Combining like terms:

83x = 124.50

Divide both sides by 83:

x = 124.50 / 83
x = $1.50

Therefore, the price of each rose was $1.50.
