| Value |
5 u |
1 u |
| Total value |
30 u |
10 u |
Cost of 1 tart = 1 u
Cost of 1 scone = 5 u
Total cost of 6 scones and 10 tarts
= 6 x 5 u + 10 x 1 u
= 40 u
Fraction of Yen's money left
= 1 -
49 =
5949 of Yen's money = 40 u
19 of Yen's money = 40 u ÷ 4 = 10 u
59 of Yen's money = 10 u x 5 = 50 u
Number of scones that Yen could buy
= 50 u ÷ 5 u
= 10
Answer(s): 10
