95 more |
Before |
10 u |
5x2 + 95 =
10 u + 95 |
Change |
- 9 u |
- 2x2 - 38 =
- 4 u - 38
|
After |
1 u |
3x2 + 57 =
6 u + 57 |
Comparing croissants
and muffins in the end |
|
87 more |
0.9 =
910 25 x 95 = 38
Number of muffins that Aunt Gem gave to Shannon = 4 u + 38
If Aunt Gem made another 87 croissants in the end, the number of croissants and muffins in the end would be the same.
6 u + 57 = 1 u + 87
6 u - 1 u = 87 - 57
5 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 5 = 6
Number of croissants that Aunt Gem made
= 10 u
= 10 x 6
= 60
Answer(s): 60
