Question
A gardener is planting two types of flowers, roses and
tulips. Each rose costs ₹50, and each tulip costs ₹30. If the gardener spends ₹3,800 in total and plants 20 more tulips than roses, how many of each type of flower did the gardener plant?Solution
Solution: Let the number of roses be x. Then the number of tulips = x + 20. Cost equation: 50x + 30(x + 20) = 3800 => 50x + 30x + 600 = 3800 => 80x = 3200 => x = 40 Total values will be: 40 roses and 60 tulips.
