8 u |
Cost of 1 tart = 1 u
Cost of 1 croissant = 5 u
Total cost of 4 croissants and 8 tarts
= 4 x 5 u + 8 x 1 u
= 28 u
Fraction of Jane's money left

29 =
7929 of Jane's money = 28 u
19 of Jane's money = 28 u ÷ 2 = 14 u
79 of Jane's money = 14 u x 7 = 98 u
Number of tarts that Jane could buy
= 98 u ÷ 1 u
= 98
