There were 35 bunches of roses and tulips.Each bunch had 12 of the same flowers.There were 7 more bunches of tulips than roses.How many tulips were there?

Respuesta :

Answer:

336 tulips

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of bunches of roses and tulips = 35

Number of flowers in each bunch = 12

Number of more bunches of tulips than roses = 7

Solutions:

Let number of bunches of roses = [tex]x[/tex]

Then the number of bunches of tulips will be = [tex]x+7[/tex]         (given)

number of bunches of roses + number of bunches of tulips = 35                                                                          

[tex]x+x+7= 35[/tex]

[tex]2x+7=35[/tex]

Subtracting both sides by 7

[tex]2x=28[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 2

[tex]x=14[/tex]

Number of bunches of roses = 14

Number of bunches of tulips = 14 + 7 = 21

By applying unitary method.

Number of flowers in each brunch = 12              (given)

Total number of tulips = 12[tex]\times[/tex]21 = 336
