Data

• Total flowers: 200 flowers

,

• Carnations (c): $1

,

• Roses (r): $2

,

• Daisies (d): $3

,

• They ordered mostly carnations

,

• 20 fewer roses than daisies

,

• Total order: $500

Procedure

Building our equations

• Equation 1

[tex]c+r+d=200[/tex]

• Equation 2

[tex]r=d-20[/tex]

• Equation 3

[tex]c+2r+3d=500[/tex]

We can replace Equation 2 in Equation 1 and solve for c:

[tex]c+(d-20)+d=200[/tex][tex]c+d-20+d=200[/tex][tex]c+2d=200+20[/tex]
