Fanny and Gabby made some cherry croissants and chocolate chip croissants. Fanny made 11 more cherry croissants than chocolate chip croissants. Gabby made 103 more chocolate chip croissants than cherry croissants. The total number of cherry croissants made up 27% of the total number of croissants they made. How many cherry croissants did they make altogether?

Number of chocolate chip croissants		Number of cherry croissants
73%		27%
Fanny	Gabby	Fanny	Gabby
1 u	1 p + 103	1 u + 11	1 p

Fanny
Number of chocolate chip croissants = 1 u
Number of cherry croissants = 1 u + 11

Gabby
Number of cherry croissants = 1 p
Number of chocolate chip croissants = 1 p + 103

Number of chocolate chip croissants in percent
= 100% - 27%
= 73%

1 u + 11 + 1 p = 27% --- (1)
1 u + 1 p + 103 = 73% --- (2)

(2) - (1)
73% - 27% = 103 - 11
46% = 92

1% = 92 ÷ 46 = 2

Number of cherry croissants that they made altogether
= 27%
= 27 x 2
= 54

Answer(s): 54
