18 of the plates were broken. The remaining 151 items were not broken. How many bowls did she have?

4x2 =
8 u |
+ 56 |
8 u |
8 u |
+ 56 + 13 |

Change |
- 3x2 =
- 6 u |
- 42 |
- 1 u |

|
After |
1x2 =
2 u |
+ 14 |
7 u |
8 u |
+ 69 |
151 |
34 x 56 = 42
LCM of 4 and 8 is 8.
Total number of items that was not broken
= 2 u + 14 + 7 u + 8 u + 69
= 17 u + 83
17 u + 83 = 151
17 u = 151 - 83
17 u = 68
1 u = 68 ÷ 17 = 4
Number of bowls that Jen had
= 8 u + 69
= 8 x 4 + 69
= 32 + 69
= 101
Answer(s): 101
