0.8 =
810 =
4512 x 74 = 37
74 - 37 = 37
If Auntie Jaslyn baked another 58 cheese croissants, there would be equal number of banana croissants and cheese croissants in the end.
5 u + 37 = 2 u + 58
5 u - 2 u = 58 - 37
3 u = 21
1 u = 21 ÷ 3 = 7
Total croissants that Auntie Jaslyn baked
= 10 u + 74 + 10 u
= 20 u + 74
= 20 x 7 + 74
= 140 + 74
= 214
Answer(s): 214
