Stern MASS ASB is doing a Valentine’s Day Fundraiser. They are selling roses for $3 each and carnations for $2 each. They sold a total of 40 flowers for $10(. How many of each flower did they said?

They sold

20 Roses and 20 Carnations

Step-by-step explanation:

The total sales of 40 flowers is $100 not $10 as in the question

Roses=$3

Carnations=$2

Total flowers sold=40

Total sales=$10

Let Roses=r

Carnations=c

c+r=40. (1)

3r+2c=100 (2)

From (1)

c=40-r

Substitute c=40-r into (2)

3r+2c=100

3r+2(40-r)=100

3r+80-2r=10

r=100-80

r=20

Substitute r=20 into (1)

c+r=40

c+20=40

c=40-20

=20

c=20

r=20

Check:

3r+2c=100

3(20)+2(20)=100

60+40=100

100=100

2 5/8 is the final answer! : )

step-by-step explanation:

the total is 23.97. 0.25% is off so you have to subtracting 25% from 100% and you will get 75% if you convert it to decimal you will get 0.75. you have to find the original because the formula is % times original = total.so you have the total and the % so you just have to plug it in.
