Solution

Given:–––––––
Total number of flowers in the basket =50
Number of roses in the basket = 20
Number of lilies in the basket = 15

Need to Find:––––––––––––––– Number of sunflowers in the basket

Let the number of sunflowers in the basket =s.

Now, according to the question:
No. of roses + No. of lilies + No. of sunflowers = Total number of flowers in the basket
20+15+s=50
35+s=50
On subtracting 35 from both sides of the equation, we get:
35+s35=5035
s=15

Beetle's basket contains 15 sunflowers.
