Ford owns a garden and he grows 40 roses every week. He supplies Roses to the local flower shops. The first flower shop orders 20 roses, the second flower shop orders 15 roses, and the third flower shop orders 30 roses per week. How many roses does Ford lack to supply all the flower shops every month?

Step 1: Calculate total weekly demand for roses

To determine the total number of roses Ford needs to supply each week, we sum the orders from all three flower shops. This gives us the combined weekly demand.

Step 2: Calculate total weekly supply deficit

Now we compare the total weekly demand with Ford's weekly supply of roses. The difference between these two values will tell us how many roses Ford is short each week.

Step 3: Convert weekly deficit to monthly deficit

Since a month typically has 4 weeks, we multiply the weekly deficit by 4 to find the total number of roses Ford lacks to supply all shops in a month.
