There are two types of flowers are given: Potted pansies and Marigolds.
Number of Potted pansies flowers sold = 48.
Number of Marigolds flowers = 96.
Total number of flowers sold = Number of Potted pansies flowers sold+Number of Marigolds flowers = 48+96 = 144 flowers.
Fraction of the marigolds flowers sold to the total flowers sold = [tex]\frac{96}{144}[/tex].
Reducing it into simplest fraction by dividing top and bottom by 48, we get
[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex].
Therefore, [tex]\frac{2}{3}rd[/tex] of the flowers sold were marigolds.
