Mindy picked 4 times as many daisies as tulips for a flower bouquet.she picked a total of 20 flowers. How many more daisies than tulips did she pick?
t + 4t = 20
5t = 20
t = 4
4 tulips
16 daisies
12
vhan is poooooooooooooooooppppp
To solve this problem, we can use algebra. Let's assume that Mindy picked x tulips. Since she picked 4 times as many daisies as tulips, she must have picked 4x daisies. We know that the total number of flowers she picked is 20. So, we can set up the equation:
x + 4x = 20
Combining like terms, we get:
5x = 20
To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 5:
x = 20/5
Simplifying, we find that x = 4.
So Mindy picked 4 tulips and 4 * 4 = 16 daisies.
To find out how many more daisies than tulips she picked, we subtract the number of tulips from the number of daisies:
16 - 4 = 12.
Therefore, Mindy picked 12 more daisies than tulips.
