110 of the plates were broken. The remaining 371 items were not broken. How many spoons did she have?

5x2 =
10 u |
+ 40 |
10 u |
10 u |
+ 40 + 32 |

- 2x2 =
- 4 u |
- 16 |
- 1 u |

|
After |
3x2 =
6 u |
+ 24 |
9 u |
10 u |
+ 72 |
371 |
25 x 40 = 16
LCM of 5 and 10 is 10.
Total number of items that was not broken
= 6 u + 24 + 9 u + 10 u + 72
= 25 u + 96
25 u + 96 = 371
25 u = 371 - 96
25 u = 275
1 u = 275 ÷ 25 = 11
Number of spoons that Jade had
= 10 u + 72
= 10 x 11 + 72
= 110 + 72
= 182
Answer(s): 182
