114. How Many Flowers? A temple has 9 doors. At each door stands 1 priest. Each priest has 9 wives, and each wife has 6 children. Every child owns 9 baskets, and each basket contains 9 flowers. How many flowers are there in total? Added 18 May 2009 Show Hint Show Solution Hint: Work step by step: doors → priests → wives → children → baskets → flowers. Multiply at each level. Solution: Number of priests = 9 doors × 1 priest/door = 9. Number of wives = 9 priests × 9 wives/priest = 81. Number of children = 81 wives × 6 children/wife = 486. Number of baskets = 486 children × 9 baskets/child = 4,374. Number of flowers = 4,374 baskets × 9 flowers/basket = 39,366. Total flowers: 39,366.
