Kylie baked 300 croissants. She gave 90 croissants to Vaidev and some croissants to Justin. 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 Justin?
(a)
Total number of croissants = 10 u
10 u = 300
1 u = 300 ÷ 10 = 30
Number of croissants that Kylie had left
= 3 u
= 3 x 30
= 90
(b)
Number of croissants that Tina gave to Justin
= 300 - 90 - 90
= 120
Fraction of the total croissants that Kylie gave to Justin
