A stall was selling flowers. ¹₄ of the earnings are from the sale of 5 marigolds and 10 daisies. Of the rest of the earnings, ³₅ are from the sale of marigolds and ²₅ are from the sale of daisies. Each daisy costs thrice as much as each marigold. How many flowers were sold?

5 marigolds and 10 daisies	Rest of the earnings		Total earnings
1x5	3x5
	Roses	Carnations
	3x3	2x3
5	9	6	20

Fraction of the earnings left after the sale of 5 marigolds and 10 daisies
= 1 - ¹₄
= ³₄ 

The rest of the earnings is repeated. LCM of 3 and 5 is 15.

Cost of 1 marigold = 1 u
Cost of 1 daisy = 3 u

Cost of 5 marigolds = 5 x 1 u = 5 u
Cost of 10 daisies = 10 x 3 u = 30 u

Total cost of 5 marigolds and 10 daisies
= 5 u + 30 u
= 35 u

⁵₂₀ of the earnings → 35 u 
¹₂₀ of the earnings → 35 u ÷ 5 = 7 u 

⁹₂₀ of the earnings → 9 x 7 u = 63 u 

Number of marigolds sold that contributed to the rest of the earnings
= 63 u ÷ 1 u
= 63

⁶₂₀ of the earnings → 6 x 7 u = 42 u

Number of daisies sold that contributed to the rest of the earnings
= 42 u ÷ 3 u
= 14

Number of flowers sold
= 5 + 10 + 63 + 14
= 92

Answer(s): 92
