Question

At a flower shop, a bouquet of 5 roses costs $5 and a bouquet of 9 roses costs $8. What is the least amount you can spend to purchase exactly 77 roses?

Answer 1

Since the better deal is 9 for $8, start by dividing 77 by 9. You’ll get 8 with the remainder of 5. Answer is $69. AHHH I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE!
