Solution
The correct option is C 97 Number of red flowers = 45
Number of yellow flowers = 54
Total number of flowers = 196
Number of red and yellow flowers = Sum of red and yellow flowers
= 45 + 54
Let's add the numbers using vertical addition.
<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->
Keep in mind that we are adding like terms only.
Therefore, the total number of red and yellow flowers is 99.
Number of white flowers = Total number of flowers – Number of red and yellow flowers
= 196 – 99
Let's subtract the numbers using vertical subtraction.
