Respuesta :

Answer:

 [tex]Y=2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Number of Flower to be planted n=38

Flower per Fiats f=5

Since Number of Flower to be planted [tex]n=38[/tex]

Therefore Fiats bought must tally or be greater than [tex]n=38[/tex]

Generally The Multiply of 5 greater than and closest to 38 is 8

 [tex]X=5*8[/tex]

 [tex]X=40[/tex]

Generally the Total amount of Fiats Bought is given by

 [tex]X=40[/tex]

Therefore The Number of flowers Y left is

 [tex]Y=X-n[/tex]

 [tex]Y=40-38[/tex]

 [tex]Y=2[/tex]
