TiffanyNumber of apricot puffs = 1 u
Number of banana puffs = 1 u + 22
Gabby Number of banana puffs = 1 p
Number of apricot puffs = 1 p + 50
Number of apricot puffs in percent
= 100% - 43%
= 57%
1 u + 22 + 1 p = 43% --- (1)
1 u + 1 p + 50 = 57% --- (2)
(2) - (1)
57% - 43% = 50 - 22
14% = 28
1% = 28 ÷ 14 = 2
Number of apricot puffs that they made altogether
= 57%
= 57 x 2
= 114
Answer(s): 114
