Mrs Bobby baked
13 as many strawberry puffs as blueberry puffs. She also baked
23 as many strawberry puffs as apple puffs. If she baked a total of 110 puffs, how many strawberry puffs did she bake?
Strawberry |
Blueberry |
Apple |
1x2 |
3x2 |
|
2x1 |
|
3x1 |
2 u |
6 u |
3 u |
The number of strawberry puffs is the repeated identity. Make the number of strawberry puffs the same. LCM of 1 and 2 is 2.
Total number of puffs
= 2 u + 6 u + 3 u
= 11 u
11 u = 110
1 u = 110 ÷ 11 = 10
Number of strawberry puffs
= 2 u
= 2 x 10
= 20
Answer(s): 20
