Before
|
10x1 =
10 u |
4x9 =
36 u |
Change
|
- 1x1 =
- 1 u |
- 3x9 =
- 27 u |
After
|
9x1 =
9 u |
1x9 =
9 u |
Comparing muffins and
croissants in the end |
1x9 =
9 u |
1x9 =
9 u |
0.1 =
110 0.75 =
75100 =
34 The number of muffins and croissants is the same in the end. Make the number of muffins and croissants in the end the same. LCM of 9 and 1 and 1 is 9.
Total number of muffins and croissants at first
= 10 u + 36 u
= 46 u
46 u = 184
1 u = 184 ÷ 46 = 4
Number of croissants that Anna had left
= 9 u
= 9 x 4
= 36
Answer(s): 36
