Once a week, Susan collects wildflowers around her neighborhood to display in the vase on her family's kitchen table. When her dog Rocko tags along, she gets distracted by his barking, so she collects about 3/4 as many flowers as she usually would when she comes alone. When her father comes along, he collects twice as many as she does. Last week, Susan brought Rocko with her and collected 39 flowers. If Susan and her father go next week without Rocco, how many total flowers will they bring home? Choose the correct choice from the following choices.
A) 156  B) 104  C) 52  D) 78  E) 117
X equals Number of Flowers Susan collects while alone   Knowing 39 is 3 equal fourths of X, I can divide 39 by 3 to find the value of each fourth.   1/4 of x = 39 divided by 3   1/4 of x = 13   x = 13 x 4   x = 52   Susan's father collects twice as many flowers as Susan, which would be 52 x 2 = 104   Final calculation is Susan's flowers plus her father's flowers, 52 + 104 = 156 flowers   The correction answer is option 156) 156
