The bouquet contains 18 roses, 6 carnations, and 16 daisies.

Multiply the total number of flowers by the percentages of roses and carnations. The percentages must be converted to decimals.

$45 % = \frac{45}{100} = 0.45$ $45%=45/100=0.45$

$15 % = \frac{15}{100} = 0.15$ $15%=15/100=0.15$

Number of Roses

$40 \times 0.45 = 18$ $40xx0.45=18$ roses

Number of Carnations

$40 \times 0.15 = 6$ $40xx0.15=6$ carnations

Total Roses and Carnations

$18 + 6 = 24$ $18+6=24$

Number of Daisies

$40 - 24 = 16$ $40-24=16$ daisies
