Before |
9x11 = 99 u |
3 u

102 u |
Change |
- 1x11 = - 11 u |
- 1 u |

Comparing daffodils and poppies sold |
- 11x1 = - 11 u |
- 1x1 = - 1 u |
- 12x1 = - 12 u |
After |
8x11 = 88 u |
2 u |
90 u |
Number of daffodils sold is repeated. Make the number of daffodils the same. LCM of 1 and 11 is 11.
Total number of flowers sold = 12 u
Total number of flowers
= 99 u + 3 u
= 102 u
Fraction of the flowers that the florist sold
=
