112 of the plates were broken. The remaining 337 items were not broken. How many spoons did she have?

4x3 = 12 u |
+ 76 |
12 u |
12 u |
+ 76 + 60 |
|
Change |
- 3x3 = - 9 u |
- 57 |
- 1 u |
|
|
|
After |
1x3 = 3 u |
+ 19 |
11 u |
12 u |
+ 136 |
337 |
34 x 76 = 57
LCM of 4 and 12 is 12.
Total number of items that was not broken
= 3 u + 19 + 11 u + 12 u + 136
= 26 u + 155
26 u + 155 = 337
26 u = 337 - 155
26 u = 182
1 u = 182 ÷ 26 = 7
Number of spoons that Tiffany had
= 12 u + 136
= 12 x 7 + 136
= 84 + 136
= 220
Answer(s): 220
