Solve the question below using two different methods.
the math club sold rose and tulips this year for valentines day. the number of rose sold was 8 more than 4 times the number if tulips sold. tulip were sold for $2 each and rose $5 each. the club made $414.00. how many rose were sold?

Sold 17 tulips and 76 roses. tulips is equal to x and roses are equal to 4x+8. Then multiply by the amount they cost and then tulips are 2x and roses are 20x+40. They add together to get 414. 2x=20x=40=414. Solve. x=17. X is equal to the amount of tulips.

When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second or 5 miles per hour, they are called unit rates. if you have a multiple-unit rate such as 120 students for every 3 buses, and want to find the single-unit rate, write a ratio equal to the multiple-unit rate with 1 as the second term.
