Answer :
To determine the total number of butterflies in the garden, we need to combine the different groupings of butterflies.
1. First, we need to understand the units:
- A "score" is equal to 20.
- A "dozen" is equal to 12.
2. Let's consider each group separately:
- There are three scores of butterflies.
- There are two dozens of butterflies.
- There are five individual butterflies.
3. Calculate the number of butterflies for each group:
- Three scores: [tex]\( 3 \times 20 = 60 \)[/tex] butterflies.
- Two dozens: [tex]\( 2 \times 12 = 24 \)[/tex] butterflies.
- Five individual butterflies: [tex]\( 5 \)[/tex] butterflies.
4. Add them all together to find the total number of butterflies:
- Total butterflies = (Number of butterflies in scores) + (Number of butterflies in dozens) + (Individual butterflies).
- Total butterflies = 60 + 24 + 5.
The total number of butterflies altogether is [tex]\( 89 \)[/tex].
