Dylan had some strawberry scones and cheese scones. ⁵₇ of the number of strawberry scones was equal to ¹₄ of the number of cheese scones. After Dylan made 5 more strawberry scones, the number of strawberry scones was ²₅ of the number of cheese scones. How many scones did he have altogether in the end?
Make the numerators the same. LCM of 5 and 1 is 5.

57 of strawberry scones = 1x54x5 of cheese scones

⁵₇ of strawberry scones = ⁵₂₀ of cheese scones

	Strawberry scones	Cheese scones	Total
Before	7 u	20 u
Change	+ 5
After	2x4 = 8 u	5x4 = 20 u	28 u

The number of cheese scones remains unchanged.  Make the number of cheese scones the same.  LCM of 5 and 20 is 20.

Number of more strawberry scones made
= 8 u - 7 u
= 1 u

1 u = 5

1 u = 5 ÷ 1 = 5

Number of scones that Dylan had in the end
= 8 u + 20 u
= 28 u
= 28 x 5
= 140

Answer(s): 140
