34 of the total croissants left.
- How many croissants did she have left?
- What fraction of the total croissants did she give to Simon?
(a)
Total number of croissants = 4 u
4 u = 240
1 u = 240 ÷ 4 = 60
Number of croissants that Eva had left
= 3 u
= 3 x 60
= 180

Number of croissants that Tina gave to Simon
= 240 - 180 - 30
= 30
Fraction of the total croissants that Eva gave to Simon
