Linda is planting pink tulips in a rectangular flower bed that is 2 feet longer than it is wide. She plans to surround the tulips with a border of daffodils that is 2 feet wide. If the total area of the garden is 224 square feet and she plants 36 daffodils per square foot, then how many daffodils does she need?

Sagot :

So the tulip garden is 16x14. Add the 2ft from the daffodils all the way around and your total sq ft equals 288. Now, subtract the total-the tulips (288-224) and get 64 sq ft for the daffodil border. 64x36 = 2304 daffodils in the entire border
