at the end of the day , february 14 th , a florist had 150 roses left in his shop , all of which were red , white or pink in color and either long or short - stemmed . a third of the roses were short - stemmed , 20 of which were white and 15 of which were pink . the percentage of pink roses that were short - stemmed equaled the percentage of red roses that were short - stemmed . if none of the long - stemmed roses were white , what percentage of the long - stemmed roses were red ?
"r + w + p = 150 s + l = 150 1 / 3 * 150 = 50 short - stemmed white = 20 short - stemmed pink = 15 = > short - stemmed red = 15 15 / p = 15 / r = > r = p so total long stemmed = 100 and long stemmed red + long stemmed pink = 100 so long stemmed red / long stemmed = ? total white = 20 ( as no long stemmed white ) = > r + r + 20 = 150 = > r = 130 and r = 65 long stemmed r = 65 - 15 = 50 so long stemmed red / r = 50 / 100 = 50 % answer - a"
multiply(divide(divide(multiply(subtract(150, divide(150, const_3)), subtract(subtract(divide(150, const_3), 20), 15)), add(15, subtract(subtract(divide(150, const_3), 20), 15))), subtract(150, divide(150, const_3))), const_100)
