Mrs Nick baked
13 as many chocolate chip macarons as vanilla macarons. She also baked
23 as many chocolate chip macarons as apricot macarons. If she baked a total of 88 macarons, how many chocolate chip macarons did she bake?
| Chocolate Chip |

Apricot |
| 1x2 |
3x2 |
|
| 2x1 |
|
3x1 |
| 2 u |
6 u |
3 u |
The number of chocolate chip macarons is the repeated identity. Make the number of chocolate chip macarons the same. LCM of 1 and 2 is 2.
Total number of macarons
= 2 u + 6 u + 3 u
= 11 u
11 u = 88
1 u = 88 ÷ 11 = 8
Number of chocolate chip macarons
= 2 u
= 2 x 8
= 16
Answer(s): 16
