Gabby was packing her bowls, spoons and plates to be moved to her new shop. She packed 95 more bowls than spoons, and 60 more plates than bowls. While moving
35 of her bowls and
110 of the spoons were broken. The remaining 285 items were not broken. How many plates did she have?

5x2 =
10 u |
+ 95 |
10 u |
10 u |
+ 95 + 60 |
|
Change |
- 3x2 =
- 6 u |
- 57 |
- 1 u |
|
|
|
After |
2x2 =
4 u |
+ 38 |
9 u |
10 u |
+ 155 |
285 |
35 x 95 = 57
LCM of 5 and 10 is 10.
Total number of items that was not broken
= 4 u + 38 + 9 u + 10 u + 155
= 23 u + 193
23 u + 193 = 285
23 u = 285 - 193
23 u = 92
1 u = 92 ÷ 23 = 4
Number of plates that Gabby had
= 10 u + 155
= 10 x 4 + 155
= 40 + 155
= 195
Answer(s): 195
