Question

Three decorators purchased bouquets of roses. Decorator A paid $120 for 5 bouquets that contained 25 roses each. Decorator B paid $204 for 20 bouquets that contained 12 roses each. Decorator C paid $180 for 40 bouquets that contained 6 roses each. Which decorator paid the least amount per rose? Find the total number of roses each decorator bought. 2. Find the price per rose for each decorator. 3. Compare the unit prices to determine which decorator paid the least per rose.

Answer 1

120/5 = 24

24 dollars/ 25 roses = .96/rose

204/20 = 10.2

10.20 dollars/12 roses = .85/rose this is the lest amount

180/4 = 45

45 dollars/6 roses = 7.50/rose
