The total number of blueberry buns made up 41% of the total number of buns they made. How many blueberry buns did they make altogether?

Number of apricot buns		Number of blueberry buns
59%		41%
Vanessa	Victoria	Vanessa	Victoria
1 u	1 p + 165	1 u + 111	1 p

Vanessa
Number of apricot buns = 1 u
Number of blueberry buns = 1 u + 111

Victoria
Number of blueberry buns = 1 p
Number of apricot buns = 1 p + 165

Number of apricot buns in percent
= 100% - 41%
= 59%

1 u + 111 + 1 p = 41% --- (1)
1 u + 1 p + 165 = 59% --- (2)

(2) - (1)
59% - 41% = 165 - 111
18% = 54

1% = 54 ÷ 18 = 3

Number of blueberry buns that they made altogether
= 41%
= 41 x 3
= 123

Answer(s): 123
