- At what time had the florist sold one-quarter the total number of flowers sold that day?
- During which one-hour interval was there no flower sold? Give your answer in the following format (Eg 09 00 to 10 00)
- What was the average number of flowers sold per hour from 09 00 to 15 00?
(a)
Total number of flowers sold = 192
One-quarter the number of flowers sold
=
14 x 192
= 48
Time that the florist took to sell one-quarter the total number of flower: 11 00
(b)
Between 13 00 to 14 00, there was no flowers sold.
(c)
Number of flowers sold by 09 00 = 21
Number of flowers sold by 15 00 = 87
Duration from 09 00 to 15 00 = 6 h
Average number of flowers sold per hour from 09 00 to 15 00
= (87 - 21) ÷ 6
= 66 ÷ 5
= 11
Answer(s): (a) 11 00; (b) 13 00 to 14 00; (c) 11
