Answer 1

Answer:

20 roses will cost $ 96.65

Explanation:

A florist sells a dozen roses for $ 57.99

Then we consider that she sells individual roses for the same unit prize

Thus to determinate a proportion we will find the cost of a single rose.

Dividing the price of 12 roses (a dozen) by the total cost as it follows

Calculate the cost of one rose

$\boxed{\bold { 1 \ Rose = \frac{\ \ 57.99}{12} }}$

$\large\boxed{\bold { 1 \ Rose =\ \ 4.8325 }}$

One rose costs $ 4.8325 (unit prize)

As the man wants to buy 20 roses for her wife just multiply the unit prize by 20

Finding the cost for 20 roses

$\boxed{\bold { 20 \ Roses =\ \ 4.8325 \ . \ 20 }}$

$\large\boxed{\bold { 20 \ Roses =\ \ 96.65}}$

Hence 20 roses will cost $ 96.65
