35 of the total croissants left.
- How many croissants did she have left?
- What fraction of the total croissants did she give to Neave?
(a)
Total number of croissants = 5 u
5 u = 250
1 u = 250 ÷ 5 = 50
Number of croissants that Natalie had left
= 3 u
= 3 x 50
= 150
(b)
Number of croissants that Tina gave to Neave
= 250 - 150 - 40
= 60
Fraction of the total croissants that Natalie gave to Neave
