47 of the total croissants left.
- How many croissants did she have left?
- What fraction of the total croissants did she give to Carl?

Total number of croissants = 7 u
7 u = 280
1 u = 280 ÷ 7 = 40
Number of croissants that Vanessa had left
= 4 u
= 4 x 40

Number of croissants that Tina gave to Carl
= 280 - 160 - 90
= 30
Fraction of the total croissants that Vanessa gave to Carl
