Answer

$R+L+I=120$ and $ 2.5 R+4L+2I=300$ and $R=2(L+I)$

Work Step by Step

We are given that there are $120$ flowers. Let us suppose that $R$ is the number of roses, $L$ is the number of lilies and $I$ is the number of Irises. Therefore, $R+L+I=120$ Further, the total price of the flowers is $ \$ 300$. Thus, $ 2.5 R+4L+2I=300$ Next, $R=2(L+I)$
