3 donuts for $2
Note that 120 donuts mean 40 groups of 3 donuts, so the total price Mdm Tan paid
= 40 groups of 3 donuts
= 40 x $2
= $80
----------------------------------------------
6 donuts for $5
Note that 120 donuts mean 20 groups of 6 donuts, so the total price Mr Ang paid
= 20 groups of 6 donuts
= 20 x $5
= $100
----------------------------------------------
Difference in amount paid
= $100 - $80
= $20
I am using text to type so I am unable to draw models.
(I attempt to use ▲ for models)
Originally, Minah baked "some muffins". At the end, Minah had 1/4 of the muffins left.
Your model might look like this.
Before: ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲
After: ▲
Am I right to say the above?
---------------------------------------------------------
At the end, Minah had ▲ muffins left. This was after she gave 2/3 of the "remaining" muffins left.
So, 1/3 of the "remaining" muffins would be what is left at the end, which we now know is ▲.
This means that the 2/3 of the "remaining" muffins can be represented by ▲ ▲, since 2/3 is twice of 1/3.
---------------------------------------------------------
So, before Minah gave 2/3 of the remaining muffins, Minah had ▲ ▲ ▲ muffins,
To recap, here's the breakdown.
▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ at first
▲ ▲ ▲ after selling 252 muffins
▲ after giving away 2/3 of the "remaining muffins" to her mother
Check that ▲ is 1/4 of ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲.
This means that she sold ▲ muffins. So,▲ = 252 muffins.
She gave ▲ ▲ to her mother, or 252 x 2 = 504 muffins.
