JadeNumber of cheese buns = 1 u
Number of cherry buns = 1 u + 40
Linda Number of cherry buns = 1 p
Number of cheese buns = 1 p + 150
Number of cheese buns in percent
= 100% - 45%
= 55%
1 u + 40 + 1 p = 45% --- (1)
1 u + 1 p + 150 = 55% --- (2)
(2) - (1)
55% - 45% = 150 - 40
10% = 110
1% = 110 ÷ 10 = 11
Number of cheese buns that they made altogether
= 55%
= 55 x 11
= 605
Answer(s): 605
