Kendall picked peonies and daisies from her garden to make a bouquet for Mother's Day. She picked 13 peonies. If Kendall picked 23 more daisies than peonies, how many flowers did she pick?

Question

flowers

Answer 1

To find the total number of flowers Kendall picked, we can start by determining how many daisies she picked.

1. Determine the number of daisies:

   • Kendall picked 13 peonies.
   • She picked 23 more daisies than peonies.
   • Therefore, the number of daisies is: \[ \text{Number of daisies} = \text{Number of peonies} + 23 = 13 + 23 = 36 \]

2. Calculate the total number of flowers:

   • Now, we add the number of peonies and the number of daisies together: \[ \text{Total number of flowers} = \text{Number of peonies} + \text{Number of daisies} = 13 + 36 = 49 \]

So, the total number of flowers Kendall picked is 49.
