Question

The pie chart below shows the types of flowers sold by florist last Friday the florist sold 180 lilies on that day
Lilies=180
Daisies= 20%
Roses= 3/8
Tulips= 17.5%
How many lilies and daisies dis florist sell altogether

Answer 1

To find out how many daisies the florist sold, we first need to calculate the number of daisies as a percentage of the total number of flowers.

Total number of flowers sold = 180 (lilies) + daisies + roses + tulips

Since daisies are 20% of the total number of flowers, we can calculate the number of daisies as:
Daisies = 20% of (180 + daisies + roses + tulips)
Daisies = 0.2(180 + daisies + 3/8 + 17.5%)

Now, we can write a new equation to find the total number of lilies and daisies sold:
Total lilies and daisies = 180 (lilies) + daisies

Plugging in the value of daisies from the previous equation, we get:
Total lilies and daisies = 180 + 0.2(180 + daisies + 3/8 + 17.5%)

Solving this equation will give us the total number of lilies and daisies sold by the florist.
