The total number of flowers in her garden 16.
Let the total flowers in Miss Lopez's garden is "X"
Number of flowers of lilies = 10
So,
the number of flowers of daisies= (X-10)
According to the question,
ratio of lilies to daisies in the garden is 5/3
⇒10/(X-10) = 5/3
⇒ 10=(X-10)×5/3
⇒10= (5X - 50)/3
⇒30=5X -50
⇒5X =80
⇒X=[tex]\frac{80}{5}[/tex]
∴X=16
