Hazel spent
57 of her money on 9 muffins and 4 macarons. If each muffin costs four times as much as a macaron, how many macarons could Hazel buy with the rest of her money?
| |
Muffins |
Macarons |
| Number |
9 |
4 |
| Value |
4 u |
1 u |
| Total value |
36 u |
4 u |
Cost of 1 macaron = 1 u
Cost of 1 muffin = 4 u
Total cost of 9 muffins and 4 macarons
= 9 x 4 u + 4 x 1 u
= 40 u
Fraction of Hazel's money left
= 1 -
57 =
2757 of Hazel's money = 40 u
17 of Hazel's money = 40 u ÷ 5 = 8 u
27 of Hazel's money = 8 u x 2 = 16 u
Number of macarons that Hazel could buy
= 16 u ÷ 1 u
= 16
Answer(s): 16
