Esther baked pandan, durian and strawberry wafers. There were one-third as many strawberry wafers as durian wafers and an equal number of strawberry wafers as pandan wafers. The cost of each wafer is given as shown.
1 strawberry wafer: $1.90
1 durian wafer: $1.50
1 pandan wafer: $1.10
If she collected $300 from selling all the wafers, how many durian wafers were there?

Cost of 1 wafers |
$1.90 |
$1.50 |
$1.10 |
Total Value |
1.9 u |
4.5 u |
1.1 u |
Strawberry wafers : Durian wafers : Pandan wafers
1 : 3 : 1
Total amount earned from selling all the wafers
= 1.9 u + 4.5 u + 1.1 u
= 7.5 u
7.5 u = 300
1 u = 300 ÷ 7.5 = 40
Number of durian wafers
= 3 u
= 3 x 40
= 120
Answer(s): 120
