Mary is making 5 identical bouquets to sell at her shop for the day. She has only R610 to spend and wants 24 flowers for each bouquet. Roses cost R6 each, irises cost R4 each, and poppies cost R3 each. She wants to have twice as many roses as the other 2 flowers combined in each bouquet. How many roses, irises, and poppies are in each bouquet?
Since she does not know how many of each type of flower will be put in the bouquet, those are the unknowns for the system of three equations. we are going to let p represent the number of roses, q represents the number of irises, and r represents the number of poppies.

I wasn't able to parse your question, but the HE.NET team is hard at work making me smarter.
