The number of egg croissants at first is repeated. Make the number of egg croissants at first the same. LCM of 3 and 6 is 6.
Number of croissants left
= 1 u + 2 u - 215
= 3 u - 215
3 u - 215 = 1
13 u
3 u - 1
13 u = 215
1
23 u = 215
1 u = 215 ÷ 1
23 = 129
Total number of croissants that Jaslyn sold
= 5 u + 215
= 5 x 129 + 215
= 645 + 215
= 860
Answer(s): 860
