We are given that Rosa already has 45 flowers in her garden. Additionally, she can grow 1 flower with every seed packet she uses. We need to determine how many seed packets Rosa needs to have a total of 98 flowers in her garden.

Let the number of seed packets Rosa needs be denoted by \( x \). Each seed packet grows 1 flower, so after using \( x \) seed packets, the total number of flowers will be:

\[
45 + x = 98
\]

To find \( x \), we subtract 45 from both sides:

\[
x = 98 - 45
\]

\[
x = 53
\]

Thus, Rosa needs **53 seed packets** to have a total of 98 flowers in her garden.

Would you like more details, or do you have any questions?

Here are some related questions:
1. How many flowers would Rosa have with 100 seed packets?
2. If each seed packet grew 2 flowers, how many packets would Rosa need for 98 flowers?
3. What if Rosa started with 60 flowers instead of 45?
4. How many seed packets would Rosa need for 150 flowers?
5. How would the equation change if Rosa could grow 3 flowers per seed packet?

**Tip**: When setting up equations, always define your variables clearly and keep track of units like "flowers" or "packets."

Rosa already has 45 flowers in her garden, and she can also grow 1 flower with every seed packet she uses. How many seed packets does Rosa need to have a total of 98 flowers in her garden?
