Answer:

D. 160

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by proportions, using a rule of three.

In this question:

For each 3 white carnations, 5 yellows are needed, which leaves us with 8 total carnations. So for 60 white, the total is:

3 white - 8 total

60 white - x total

So

[tex]3x = 60*8[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 3

[tex]x = 20*8 = 160[/tex]

The correct answer is given by option D.
