Cost of 1 wafers |
$1.70 |
$1.20 |
$1.90 |
Total Value |
1.7 u |
3.6 u |
1.9 u |
Mocca wafers : Durian wafers : Apple wafers
1 : 3 : 1
Total amount earned from selling all the wafers
= 1.7 u + 3.6 u + 1.9 u
= 7.2 u
7.2 u = 252
1 u = 252 ÷ 7.2 = 35
Number of durian wafers
= 3 u
= 3 x 35
= 105
Answer(s): 105
