A. 30
B. 510
C. 68
D. 2040
E. 120

Answer :

Answer:

E. 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the number of total flowers is (15+2)x

That means the number of geraniums is 2x.

That also means that 1020 = 17x, which makes x = 60

Because 2x = geraniums and x = 60, the number of geraniums is 120
