Asher had some apricot muffins and cheese muffins.
310 of the number of apricot muffins was equal to
13 of the number of cheese muffins. After Asher made 66 more apricot muffins, the number of apricot muffins was
73 of the number of cheese muffins. How many muffins did he have altogether in the end?
Make the numerators the same. LCM of 3 and 1 is 3.
310 of apricot muffins =
1x33x3 of cheese muffins
310 of apricot muffins =
39 of cheese muffins

3x3 = 9 u |
30 u |
The number of cheese muffins remains unchanged. Make the number of cheese muffins the same. LCM of 3 and 9 is 9.
Number of more apricot muffins made
= 21 u - 10 u
= 11 u
11 u = 66
1 u = 66 ÷ 11 = 6
Number of muffins that Asher had in the end
= 21 u + 9 u
= 30 u
= 30 x 6
= 180
Answer(s): 180
