35 of the total scones left.
- How many scones did she have left?
- What fraction of the total scones did she give to Luke?
(a)
Total number of scones = 5 u
5 u = 200
1 u = 200 ÷ 5 = 40
Number of scones that Erika had left
= 3 u
= 3 x 40
= 120
(b)
Number of scones that Tina gave to Luke
= 200 - 120 - 30
= 50
Fraction of the total scones that Erika gave to Luke
