4. The student council sold flowers for the Sweetheart dance as a fundraising project. They sold 200 flowers that included carnations, roses, and Gerber
daisies. The carnations sold for $1.50 each, the roses sold for $3.75 each, and
the daisies sold for $2.25. Most of the order was carnations and there were
20 fewer roses than daisies. The total flower sales came to $453.00. How
many of each type of flower were ordered and sold.

let soccer = x and golf = y

part a

1st equation: x + y = 125

2nd equation: x = y +45

part b

replace x in the 1st equation with the 2nd one:

y + 45 + y = 125

simplify:

2y + 45 = 125

subtract 45 from each side:

2y = 80

divide both sides by 2:

y = 80/2

y = 40

she plays golf for 40 minutes.

part c

no because she plays soccer for 45 minutes longer than golf 40 +45 =   85 minutes, not 80 minutes.

over the argument its not good to fight.

they are simplified
