Karstubh had 60 flowers. He offered some flowers in a temple and found that the ratio of the number of remaining flowers to that of flowers in the beginning is 3:5. Find the number of flowers offered by him in the temple.
Given, ratio of the remaining flowers to that of flowers in
The beginning = 3:5
Number of remaining flowers = 3x
Number of flowers or total flowers at the beginning = 5x
Number of total flower Karstubh had = 60(given)
5x = 60
x = 12
(divide by 5 on both the sides)
Number of remaining flowers after offering in the temple = 3 × 12
= 36
Number of flowers offered by Karstubh in the temple = 60-32
= 24
