Question

A florist bought 268 roses, 74 tulips and some lilies. She bought a total of 390 flowers. The florist will buy five times as many lilies next week. What is the total number of lilies the florist will buy next week

Answer 1

Lilies :
$390 - 268 - 74 = 48$

$48 \times 5 = 240$


Total number of lilies the florist will buy next week = 240

Hope this helps. - M
