85 u |
15 u |
Number of matcha croissants at first
= 25% x 120
=
25100 x 120
= 30
Percentage of other croissants
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Number of other croissants
= 75% x 120
=
75100 x 120
= 90
Number of other croissants in the end
= 100 u - 85 u
= 15 u
The number of other croissants remains unchanged.
75% = 15 u
15 u = 90
1 u = 90 ÷ 15 = 6
Number of matcha croissants in the end
= 85 u
= 85 x 6
= 510
Additional number of matcha croissants that Joelle must bake
= 510 - 30
= 480
Answer(s): 480
