Cindy baked 12 trays of croissants. There were 15 croissants in each tray. She gave ¹₅ of the croissants to her neighbours and ²₃ of the remainder to Neave. She then packed the rest of the croissants equally into 6 packets. How many croissants were there in each packet?
Total number of croissants that Cindy baked
= 12 x 15
= 180

Fraction of the croissants left after Cindy gave to her neighbours
= 1 - ¹₅ 
=  ⁴₅ 

Number of croissants left after Cindy gave to Neave
= ⁴₅ x 180
= 144 

Fraction of the remaining croissants left after Cindy gave to Neave
= 1 - ²₃ 
=  ¹₃ 

Number of croissants that Cindy packed into 6 packets
= ¹₃ x 144
= 48

Number of croissants in each packet
= 48 ÷ 6
= 8

Answer(s): 8
