Linda and Hazel made some cranberry puffs and chocolate chip puffs. Linda made 15 more cranberry puffs than chocolate chip puffs. Hazel made 111 more chocolate chip puffs than cranberry puffs. The total number of cranberry puffs made up 34% of the total number of puffs they made. How many cranberry puffs did they make altogether?

Number of chocolate chip puffs		Number of cranberry puffs
66%		34%
Linda	Hazel	Linda	Hazel
1 u	1 p + 111	1 u + 15	1 p

Linda
Number of chocolate chip puffs = 1 u
Number of cranberry puffs = 1 u + 15

Hazel
Number of cranberry puffs = 1 p
Number of chocolate chip puffs = 1 p + 111

Number of chocolate chip puffs in percent
= 100% - 34%
= 66%

1 u + 15 + 1 p = 34% --- (1)
1 u + 1 p + 111 = 66% --- (2)

(2) - (1)
66% - 34% = 111 - 15
32% = 96

1% = 96 ÷ 32 = 3

Number of cranberry puffs that they made altogether
= 34%
= 34 x 3
= 102

Answer(s): 102
