- What was the average number of flowers sold per hour from 14 00 to 19 00?
(a)
Total number of flowers sold = 198
Half the number of flowers sold
=
12 x 198
= 99
Time that the florist took to sell half the total number of flower: 15 00
(b)
Between 17 00 to 18 00, there was no flowers sold.
(c)
Number of flowers sold by 14 00 = 84
Number of flowers sold by 19 00 = 149
Duration from 14 00 to 19 00 = 5 h
Average number of flowers sold per hour from 14 00 to 19 00
= (149 - 84) ÷ 5
= 65 ÷ 5
= 13
Answer(s): (a) 15 00; (b) 17 00 to 18 00; (c) 13
