Alison is a buyer for a chain of 6 flower shops. This means that she buys flowers in bulk from a supplier and then distributes them to the 6 flower shops in the chain
Part A:
This week Alison bought 108 bunches of carnations and 96 bunches of roses from the supplier. Let c represent the number of carnations in each bunch, and let r represent the number of roses in each bunch. Write an expression
to show the total number of carnations and roses that Alison bought.
PART B
Alison wants to distribute the carnations and roses equally among the 6 flower shops. Factor the expression from Part A using 6 as the common
factor. How does the factored expression help Alison determine how many
carnations and how many roses each flower shop should get?
Part C:
There are 24 carnations in each bunch and 12 roses in each bunch. Use your
answer to Part B to determine the total number of carnations and the total number of roses Alison will distribute to each flower shop this week.
