18 u - 8 |
The number of muffins at first is repeated. Make the number of muffins at first the same. LCM of 5 and 6 is 30.
Total number of pastries left
= 5 u + 18 u - 8
= 23 u - 8
23 u - 8 = 84
23 u = 84 + 8
23 u = 92
1 u = 92 ÷ 23 = 4
Number of more muffins than puffs that Albert sold
= 25 u - 8
= 25 x 4 - 8
= 100 - 8
= 92
Answer(s): 92
