27 of her money on 6 croissants and 10 tarts. If each croissant costs four times as much as a tart, how many tarts could Hilda buy with the rest of her money?

Croissants |
Tarts |
| Number |
6 |
10 |
| Value |
4 u |
1 u |
| Total value |
24 u |
10 u |
Cost of 1 tart = 1 u
Cost of 1 croissant = 4 u
Total cost of 6 croissants and 10 tarts
= 6 x 4 u + 10 x 1 u
= 34 u
Fraction of Hilda's money left
= 1 -
27 =
5727 of Hilda's money = 34 u
17 of Hilda's money = 34 u ÷ 2 = 17 u
57 of Hilda's money = 17 u x 5 = 85 u
Number of tarts that Hilda could buy
= 85 u ÷ 1 u
= 85
Answer(s): 85
