Julie was packing her spoons, plates and bowls to be moved to her new shop. She packed 60 more spoons than plates, and 30 more bowls than spoons. While moving
34 of her spoons and
18 of the plates were broken. The remaining 241 items were not broken. How many bowls did she have?

4x2 =
8 u |
+ 60 |
8 u |
8 u |
+ 60 + 30 |
|
Change |
- 3x2 =
- 6 u |
- 45 |
- 1 u |
|
|
|
After |
1x2 =
2 u |
+ 15 |
7 u |
8 u |
+ 90 |
241 |
34 x 60 = 45
LCM of 4 and 8 is 8.
Total number of items that was not broken
= 2 u + 15 + 7 u + 8 u + 90
= 17 u + 105
17 u + 105 = 241
17 u = 241 - 105
17 u = 136
1 u = 136 ÷ 17 = 8
Number of bowls that Julie had
= 8 u + 90
= 8 x 8 + 90
= 64 + 90
= 154
Answer(s): 154
