| Number |
6 |
8 |
| Value |
4 u |
1 u |
| Total value |
24 u |
8 u |
Cost of 1 macaron = 1 u
Cost of 1 croissant = 4 u
Total cost of 6 croissants and 8 macarons
= 6 x 4 u + 8 x 1 u
= 32 u
Fraction of Lucy's money left
= 1 -
29 =
7929 of Lucy's money = 32 u
19 of Lucy's money = 32 u ÷ 2 = 16 u
79 of Lucy's money = 16 u x 7 = 112 u
Number of macarons that Lucy could buy
= 112 u ÷ 1 u
= 112
Answer(s): 112
