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

Total number of croissants = 11 u
11 u = 220
1 u = 220 ÷ 11 = 20
Number of croissants that Sarah had left
= 4 u
= 4 x 20
= 80
(b)
Number of croissants that Tina gave to Ben
= 220 - 80 - 70
= 70
Fraction of the total croissants that Sarah gave to Ben
