Problem Analysis

We are given that each graduate of a school is being gifted an identical bouquet of flowers. Initially, there were 114 carnations purchased. When 2 additional carnations were added to each bouquet, there were 5 flowers in each bouquet. We need to determine the number of graduates in the school.

Solution

Let's assume the number of graduates in the school is x.

Initially, there were 114 carnations purchased. After adding 2 carnations to each bouquet, there were 5 flowers in each bouquet. This can be represented by the equation:

114 + 2x = 5x

To solve this equation, we can subtract 2x from both sides:

114 = 3x

Now, we can divide both sides by 3 to solve for x:

x = 114 / 3 = 38

Therefore, there were 38 graduates in the school.

Answer

There were 38 graduates in the school.
