Brad wants to buy flowers for his friend with $27. The daisies are $1 each and the roses are $3 each. He buys 3 more daisies than roses. How much did the roses cost?

OpenStudy (lillivarner99):

what do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know I thought I would have to divide it by 4 but that didn't work

OpenStudy (lillivarner99):

okay don't focus on the daisies because they don't provide you with enough info

OpenStudy (lillivarner99):

or sorry don't focus on roses

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so what should I do

OpenStudy (lillivarner99):

if he bought 3 daisies when they're 1$ each wouldn't it be $3? But it's just asking you how much roses were. So how much were the roses?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

$3

OpenStudy (lillivarner99):

exactly . the question just asks how much the roses were. it gives you pointless info to trip u up.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok thanks

OpenStudy (lillivarner99):

no problem. let me know if you get it right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got it wrong

OpenStudy (lillivarner99):

sorry
