My question is: A floral shop had a three day sale on rose bouquets. On Monday, they sold 12 bouquets. On Tuesday, they sold three times that many bouquets. On Wednesday it rained all day and they only sold a third of what they did the day before. How many bouquets did they sell during the three day sale? Your thoughts:
On Tuesday they sold 12 * 3 = 36 bouquets. On Wednesday they only sold 36 / 3 = 12 bouquets. In total they sold 12 + 36 + 12 = 60 bouquets. The final answer: 60.
