- 2x2 =
- 4 u |
- 24 |
- 1 u |

After |
3x2 =
6 u |
+ 36 |
9 u |
10 u |
+ 82 |
218 |
25 x 60 = 24
LCM of 5 and 10 is 10.
Total number of items that was not broken
= 6 u + 36 + 9 u + 10 u + 82
= 25 u + 118
25 u + 118 = 218
25 u = 218 - 118
25 u = 100
1 u = 100 ÷ 25 = 4
Number of bowls that Xylia had
= 10 u + 82
= 10 x 4 + 82
= 40 + 82
= 122
Answer(s): 122
