How many flowers should Joanna estimate she needs for this wedding?

   The numbers dont quite match but lets use hte higher ratio to be safe 24316 roses per bouquet means 12 bouquets will require 1224316 183 roses per bouquet means 12 bouquets will require 1224316 183 roses per bouquet means 12 bouquets will.

   (243-72)/(16-5) = 15.5
   y = 15,5x +b
   72= 15.5(5) +B –> b = -5.5
   y = 15.5x- 5.5
   y(12) = 15.5*12 -7.5 = 181
