The number of roses, sunflowers and tulips a florist has are in the ratio 5:6:9
after the Florist sells 50 roses, the ratio becomes 3:4:6
Find the number of roses left after 50 of them are sold
+80 so we can conform the "after" ratio to fit the amount in the first ratio.
Since we know that T(tulips)1=T2, and S(sunflowers)1 = S2, we find that the ratio of S and T from the first ratio, determined by 9/6 and 6/4, is 1.5. We take the ratio of roses and multiply it by 1.5,and we get 4.5. therefore, 50 roses is 10% of the total. we divide 4.5 by 0.5, getting 9, and multiply that by 50.
9*50=450
the answer is 450 roses.
