A girl bought x roses in y dollars.. The shopkeeper said her, if she bought 10 more roses, he will charge her 2 dollars for all the roses and also you can save 80 cents per dozen.. What is the value of x and y?

• if we consider x=2
  than y should be y=0.4667.
  Because,
  Actual price of dozen roses is 2.80 dollars.
  so for x=1 rose she will have to pay y=0.233
  
  Same way for x=2,y=0.4667

• given that sving 80cents per 12 example if x=2 that means another 10 have to take to form dozen so x=2

• X=2 AND Y=0.233

• 12 rose cost=24.80 (as she got benifit of 80cents)
  with 2dollar cost....2(2+10)=24
  so x= 2
  so 24.80/12=2.13
  y=4.26

• 1 rose=y/x
  now
  y/x-2=80/(100*12)
  y=31
  x=15

• x for y dollars
  x/12 dozen----for y dollars
  1 dozen------- y*12/x
  
  (x+10)/12 dozen-------2 doller
  x=14
  
  now for y
  
  12y/x =12y/(x+10) +80/100(12y/x)
  
  solve y= 1.9
  14 roses
  for 1.9 dollers
  i think i m right logicaly also
  14+10 roses for 2 doller
  so y cant greater then 2
