Mrs Will baked
12 as many blueberry macarons as vanilla macarons. She also baked
25 as many blueberry macarons as chocolate chip macarons. If she baked a total of 88 macarons, how many blueberry macarons did she bake?

1x2 |

2x1 |

5x1 |
2 u |
4 u |
5 u |
The number of blueberry macarons is the repeated identity. Make the number of blueberry macarons the same. LCM of 1 and 2 is 2.
Total number of macarons
= 2 u + 4 u + 5 u
= 11 u
11 u = 88
1 u = 88 ÷ 11 = 8
Number of blueberry macarons
= 2 u
= 2 x 8
= 16
Answer(s): 16
