A stall was selling flowers. ¹₄ of the earnings are from the sale of 6 daffodils and 17 daisies. Of the rest of the earnings, ²₅ are from the sale of daffodils and ³₅ are from the sale of daisies. Each daisy costs twice as much as each daffodil. How many flowers were sold?

6 daffodils and 17 daisies	Rest of the earnings		Total earnings
1x5	3x5
	Roses	Carnations
	2x3	3x3
5	6	9	20

Fraction of the earnings left after the sale of 6 daffodils and 17 daisies
= 1 - ¹₄
= ³₄ 

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

Cost of 1 daffodil = 1 u
Cost of 1 daisy = 2 u

Cost of 6 daffodils = 6 x 1 u = 6 u
Cost of 17 daisies = 17 x 2 u = 34 u

Total cost of 6 daffodils and 17 daisies
= 6 u + 34 u
= 40 u

⁵₂₀ of the earnings → 40 u 
¹₂₀ of the earnings → 40 u ÷ 5 = 8 u 

⁶₂₀ of the earnings → 6 x 8 u = 48 u 

Number of daffodils sold that contributed to the rest of the earnings
= 48 u ÷ 1 u
= 48

⁹₂₀ of the earnings → 9 x 8 u = 72 u

Number of daisies sold that contributed to the rest of the earnings
= 72 u ÷ 2 u
= 36

Number of flowers sold
= 6 + 17 + 48 + 36
= 107

Answer(s): 107
