16 of the plates were broken. The remaining 309 items were not broken. How many bowls did she have?

Before |
3x2 =
6 u |
+ 96 |
6 u |
6 u |
+ 96 + 25 |
|
Change |
- 2x2 =
- 4 u |
- 64 |
- 1 u |
|
|
|
After |
1x2 =
2 u |
+ 32 |
5 u |
6 u |
+ 121 |
309 |
23 x 96 = 64
LCM of 3 and 6 is 6.
Total number of items that was not broken
= 2 u + 32 + 5 u + 6 u + 121
= 13 u + 153
13 u + 153 = 309
13 u = 309 - 153
13 u = 156
1 u = 156 ÷ 13 = 12
Number of bowls that Shiyun had
= 6 u + 121
= 6 x 12 + 121
= 72 + 121
= 193
Answer(s): 193
