A stall was selling flowers. ¹₅ of the earnings are from the sale of 8 tulips and 18 daisies. Of the rest of the earnings, ²₅ are from the sale of tulips and ³₅ are from the sale of daisies. Each daisy costs four times as much as each tulip. How many flowers were sold?

8 tulips and 18 daisies	Rest of the earnings		Total earnings
1x5	4x5
	Roses	Carnations
	2x4	3x4
5	8	12	25

Fraction of the earnings left after the sale of 8 tulips and 18 daisies
= 1 - ¹₅
= ⁴₅ 

The rest of the earnings is repeated. LCM of 4 and 5 is 20.

Cost of 1 tulip = 1 u
Cost of 1 daisy = 4 u

Cost of 8 tulips = 8 x 1 u = 8 u
Cost of 18 daisies = 18 x 4 u = 72 u

Total cost of 8 tulips and 18 daisies
= 8 u + 72 u
= 80 u

⁵₂₅ of the earnings → 80 u 
¹₂₅ of the earnings → 80 u ÷ 5 = 16 u 

⁸₂₅ of the earnings → 8 x 16 u = 128 u 

Number of tulips sold that contributed to the rest of the earnings
= 128 u ÷ 1 u
= 128

¹²₂₅ of the earnings → 12 x 16 u = 192 u

Number of daisies sold that contributed to the rest of the earnings
= 192 u ÷ 4 u
= 48

Number of flowers sold
= 8 + 18 + 128 + 48
= 202

Answer(s): 202
