MinNumber of cheese buns = 1 u
Number of banana buns = 1 u + 46
Betty Number of banana buns = 1 p
Number of cheese buns = 1 p + 190
Number of cheese buns in percent
= 100% - 38%
= 62%
1 u + 46 + 1 p = 38% --- (1)
1 u + 1 p + 190 = 62% --- (2)
(2) - (1)
62% - 38% = 190 - 46
24% = 144
1% = 144 ÷ 24 = 6
Number of banana buns that they made altogether
= 38%
= 38 x 6
= 228
