1 u + 232 |
(a)
After
Number of croissants that Fanny had = 1 u
Number of croissants that Mrs Chye had = 5 x 1 u = 5 u
Before
Number of croissants that Fanny baked = 1 u
Number of croissants that Mrs Chye baked = 1 u + 415
5 u = 1 u + 415 - 183
5 u - 1 u = 232
4 u = 232
1 u = 232 ÷ 4 = 58
Number of croissants that Fanny baked
= 1 u
= 58
(b)
Number of croissants that Mrs Chye baked
= 1 u + 415
= 58 + 415
= 473
Answer(s): (a) 58; (b) 473
