Fanny baked 231 doughnuts and cookies. She burnt 6 pieces and counted the remaining pieces.
14 of the cookies and
67 of the doughnuts were cheese flavoured. There were equal number of cookies and doughnuts that were cranberry flavoured.
- How many unburnt cranberry doughnuts were there?
- What fraction of the unburnt pastries were cheese doughnuts?
(a)
Number of pastries that was not burnt
= 231 - 6
= 225
Fraction of the cookies that was cranberry flavoured
= 1 -
14 =
34 Fraction of the doughnuts that was cranberry flavoured
= 1 -
67 =
17 The number of cranberry cookies and cranberry doughnuts was the same. Make the numerators the same.
34 Cookies =
1x37x3 Doughnuts
34 Cookies =
321 Doughnuts
Number of unburnt cookies = 4 u
Number of unburnt doughnuts = 21 u
Total number of unburnt pastries
= 4 u + 21 u
= 25 u
25 u = 225
1 u = 225 ÷ 25 = 9
Number of unburnt cranberry doughnuts
= 3 u
= 3 x 9
= 27
(b)
Number of unburnt cheese doughnuts
= 21 u - 3 u
= 18 u
Unburnt cheese doughnutsTotal unburnt pastries =
184 + 21 =
1825 Answer(s): (a) 27; (b)
1825
