Among the 331 flowers, there were 238 roses and 93 other flowers. That is 72% were roses and 28% were other flowers. The statement by Dana is false
Solution:
Given:
Number of roses delivered = 238
Percentage of other flowers = 28%
If the percentage of other flowers is 28 then the percentage of roses will be,
[tex]100-28=72\%[/tex]
Assume that the total number of flowers as T. We can conclude that, 72% of total number of flowers corresponds to 238, that is
[tex]72\% \times T=238\rightarrow\frac{72}{100}\times T=238\rightarrow T=\frac{238\times100}{72}[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow T=330.55\approx331[/tex]
The total number of flowers = 331
Number of other flowers = 331-238=93
