Nicole was packing her bowls, plates and spoons to be moved to her new shop. She packed 25 more bowls than plates, and 16 more spoons than bowls. While moving
45 of her bowls and
110 of the plates were broken. The remaining 193 items were not broken. How many spoons did she have?

+ 25 |
10 u |
10 u |
+ 25 + 16 |

- 4x2 =
- 8 u |
- 20 |
- 1 u |

|
After |
1x2 =
2 u |
+ 5 |
9 u |
10 u |
+ 41 |
193 |
45 x 25 = 20
LCM of 5 and 10 is 10.
Total number of items that was not broken
= 2 u + 5 + 9 u + 10 u + 41
= 21 u + 46
21 u + 46 = 193
21 u = 193 - 46
21 u = 147
1 u = 147 ÷ 21 = 7
Number of spoons that Nicole had
= 10 u + 41
= 10 x 7 + 41
= 70 + 41
= 111
Answer(s): 111
