41. Let total number of flowers = 20u (4 x 5)
1
Number of lilies = 4 x 20u = 5u
2
Number of sunflowers = 5 x 20u = 8u

Number of daisies = 20u – 5u – 8u = 7u

Difference between number of daisies & lilies = 7u – 5u = 2u = 224
u = 224 ÷ 2 = 112
Number of sunflowers = 8u = 8 x 112 = 896

43. a)
Total packets of milk bought = 15 x 24 = 360
b)
Let u = number of packets of strawberry milk left
Number of packets of chocolate milk left = 3u
3
of chocolate packets at first → chocolate packets left → 3u
7
1
of chocolate packets at first → 3u ÷ 3 → u
7
7
of chocolate packets at first → 7 x u → 7u
7

Number of strawberry packets at first = u + 48

Total packets at first = 7u + u + 48 = 360
8u = 360 – 48 = 312
u = 312 ÷ 8 = 39
Number of strawberry packets at first = 39 + 48 = 87
Ans: a) 360
b) 87
