Daniel had some apple biscuits and apricot biscuits. He gave away 100 biscuits to his brother. 25% of them were apple biscuits and the rest were apricot biscuits.

1. How many apricot biscuits did he give his brother?
2. Daniel gave some apple biscuits to his cousin. ⁴₇ of all the biscuits he gave away to his brother and his cousin were apple biscuits. How many apple biscuits did he give his cousin?

(a)
Percentage of apricot biscuits
= 100% - 25%
= 75%

Number of apricot biscuits that Daniel gave to his brother
= 75% x 100
= ⁷⁵₁₀₀ x 100
= 75 

(b)
Fraction of all the biscuits he gave away to his brother and his cousin that were apricot biscuits
= 1 - ⁴₇
= ³₇

3 u = 75

1 u = 75 ÷ 3 = 25

Number of apple biscuits that Daniel gave to his brother and his cousin
= 4 u
= 4 x 25
= 100

Number of apple biscuits that Daniel gave to his brother
= 100 - 75
= 25

Number of apple biscuits that Daniel gave to his cousin
= 100 - 25
= 75

Answer(s): (a) 75; (b) 75
