Question

Rosy gives artificial flowers to her friends. She made flowers by joining 3 petals and she gave 3 flowers to each of her friend. If she gave flowers to 8 friends, then how many petals did she made?

• A. 64
• B. 48
• C. 72
• D. 81

Answer 1

The correct option is C 72

Number of friends = 8
Number of petals in each flower = 3
Number of flowers given to each friend = 3

Number of petals given to each friend = 3 × 3
= 9

Number of petals purchased by Rosy = 9 × 8
= (4 + 5) × 8
= (4 × 8) + (5 × 8)
= 32 + 40
= 72

Thus, Rosy purchased 72 petals to make the flowers.
