Mrs Asher baked
14 as many cheese macarons as vanilla macarons. She also baked
23 as many cheese macarons as blueberry macarons. If she baked a total of 91 macarons, how many cheese macarons did she bake?
| Cheese |
Vanilla |
Blueberry |
| 1x2 |
4x2 |
|
| 2x1 |
|
3x1 |
| 2 u |
8 u |
3 u |
The number of cheese macarons is the repeated identity. Make the number of cheese macarons the same. LCM of 1 and 2 is 2.
Total number of macarons
= 2 u + 8 u + 3 u
= 13 u
13 u = 91
1 u = 91 ÷ 13 = 7
Number of cheese macarons
= 2 u
= 2 x 7
= 14
Answer(s): 14
