Zoe baked 180 croissants. She gave 60 croissants to Xavier and some croissants to Mark. She had
310 of the total croissants left.
- How many croissants did she have left?
- What fraction of the total croissants did she give to Mark?
(a)
Total number of croissants = 10 u
10 u = 180
1 u = 180 ÷ 10 = 18
Number of croissants that Zoe had left
= 3 u
= 3 x 18
= 54
(b)
Number of croissants that Tina gave to Mark
= 180 - 54 - 60
= 66
Fraction of the total croissants that Zoe gave to Mark
=
