A confectionery sells vanilla scones and apricot scones.

Vanilla scones	Apricot scones
6 for $2.10	4 for $2.80

Jane bought an equal number of vanilla scones and apricot scones. She paid $33.60 more for the apricot scones and the vanilla scones.

1. How many scones did she buy?
2. How much did she spend altogether?

(a)
Jane bought an equal number of vanilla scones and apricot scones.  Make the number of vanilla scones and apricot scones the same.  LCM of 6 and 4 is 12.

Number of sets of 6 in 12
= 12 ÷ 6
= 2

Cost of 1 set of 12 vanilla scones
= 2 x 2.10
= $4.20

Number of sets of 4 in 12
= 12 ÷ 4
= 3

Cost of 1 set of 12 apricot scones
= 3 x 2.80
= $8.40

Amount that Jane paid more for 1 set of 12 apricot scones than 1 set of 12 vanilla scones
= 8.40 - 4.20
= $4.20

Number of sets of $4.20
= 33.60 ÷ 4.20
= 8

Total number of scones in 1 set of 12 apricot scones and 12 vanilla scones
= 2 x 12
= 24

Number of scones that Jane bought
= 8 x 24
= 192

(b)
Cost of scones in 1 set of 12 apricot scones and 12 vanilla scones
= 4.20 + 8.40
= $12.60

Total amount that Jane spent altogether
= 8 x 12.60
= $100.80

Answer(s): (a) 192 ; (b) $100.80
