A student solved this problem by working backward.

Jared has some flowers. He has 6 more red flowers than yellow flowers. He has twice as many orange flowers as red flowers. He has 4 yellow flowers. How many flowers does Jared have altogether?

Student's solution:
Jared has 4 yellow flowers.
He has 6 more red than yellow flowers (4 + 6 = 10).
He has twice as many orange flowers as red flowers (10 × 2 = 20).
So Jared has 4 + 10 + 20 = 34 flowers.

Use a similar strategy to solve this problem.
