A bouquet of flowers contains 10 dozen flowers. How many gladioli are present in the bouquet if 1/6 of the flowers are lilies, 1/8 are the roses and 1/5 are jasmines and rest are the gladioli?
Given: A bouquet of flowers contains 10 dozen flowers.
To find: We have to find the number of gladioli present in the bouquet.
Solution:
Total flowers = 10 dozen
Total flowers = 10 x 12 = 120
Now,
Number of lilies = $\ \frac{1}{6} \ $ x 120 = 20
Number of roses = $\ \frac{1}{8} \ $ x 120 = 15
Number of jasmines = $\ \frac{1}{5} \ $ x 120 = 24
So,
Number of gladioli = 120 - Number of lilies - Number of roses - Number of jasmines
Number of gladioli = 120 - 20 - 15 - 24
Number of gladioli = 120 - 59
Number of gladioli = 61
