0.8 =
810 =
4514 x 56 = 14
56 - 14 = 42
If Auntie Roshel baked another 130 cherry buns, there would be equal number of apple buns and cherry buns in the end.
15 u + 42 = 4 u + 130
15 u - 4 u = 130 - 42
11 u = 88
1 u = 88 ÷ 11 = 8
Total buns that Auntie Roshel baked
= 20 u + 56 + 20 u
= 40 u + 56
= 40 x 8 + 56
= 320 + 56
= 376
Answer(s): 376
