The number of roses left after 50 of them are sold will be 450 roses.

What are ratios and proportions?

An ordered pair of numbers, a and b, is referred to as a ratio when b is not equal to 0. A proportion is an equation that sets two ratios at the same value.

It is given that R: S: T is 5: 6: 9 <- before selling 50 R and after 50 roses are sold the ratio is 3: 4: 6 <- after selling 50 R.

Find the remaining number of R.

9 / 6 = 1,5

6 / 4 = 1,5

3 × 1,5 = 4,5

Let the number of roses before sold be n then the number of roses left will be calculated as below:-

5/4,5 = n/n-50

50/45 = 10n/(10(n-50))

450n = 500(n-50)

450n = 500n - 2500

(500-450)n = 2500

50n = 2500

n = 2500/50

n = 500 roses

500 - 50 roses = 450 roses

Therefore, the number of roses left after 50 of them are sold will be 450 roses.
