Answer 1

Answer: 32 Rose Arrangements & 8 Tulip Arrangements

Step-by-step explanation: The number of arrangements for each flower is unknown (n) but the total is known, 40 arrangements. There are 4 times as many rose arrangements than tulip meaning 4n rose + n tulip = 40, 4n + n = 40, 5n = 40, 40 ÷ 5 = n, n = 8. Roses = 4n = 4x8= 32. Tulips = n = 8.

32 rose arrangements and 8 tulips arrangements
