Number of vanila biscuits at first
= 25% x 80
=
25100 x 80
= 20
Percentage of other biscuits
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Number of other biscuits
= 75% x 80
=
75100 x 80
= 60
Number of other biscuits in the end
= 100 u - 70 u
= 30 u
The number of other biscuits remains unchanged.
75% = 30 u
30 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 30 = 2
Number of vanila biscuits in the end
= 70 u
= 70 x 2
= 140
Additional number of vanila biscuits that Raeann must bake
= 140 - 20
= 120
Answer(s): 120
