Marta is arranging floral centerpieces for a reception party. Each arrangement needs to have 8 roses,12 daisies, 3 snapdragons and twice as many lilies. The reception will have 10 tables. How many flowers will she need in total to fill this order? Let's be accurate as possible.
She needs twice as many lilies as the 3 snapdragons in the arrangement so she needs 2 * 3 = 6 lilies. She needs 8 roses, 12 daisies, 3 snapdragons and 6 lilies for a total of 8 + 12 + 3 + 6 = 29 flowers per arrangement. She needs 29 flowers per each of the 10 tables for a total of 29 * 10 = 290 flowers.
The answer: 290.
