If she collected $210 from selling all the shortbreads, how many cheese shortbreads were there?

4 u |
1 u |
Cost of 1 shortbreads |
$1.50 |
$1.80 |
$1.30 |
Total Value |
1.5 u |
7.2 u |
1.3 u |
Blueberry shortbreads : Cheese shortbreads : Strawberry shortbreads
1 : 4 : 1
Total amount earned from selling all the shortbreads
= 1.5 u + 7.2 u + 1.3 u
= 10 u
10 u = 210
1 u = 210 ÷ 10 = 21
Number of cheese shortbreads
= 4 u
= 4 x 21
= 84
Answer(s): 84
