Number of muffins baked

76 Views Asked by At

Mr Ali baked some muffins. (3/5) of the muffins wee chocolate and the rest were vanilla. After she sold (2/9) of the chocolate muffins and (1/2) of the vanilla muffins, 230 muffins were left. How many chocolate muffins did Mrs Ali bake?

My work

Number of chocolate: C

Number of Vanilla: V

Total: T


C = (3/5) T

V = (2/5) T

This is the part where I'm not sure.

C (1 - 2/9) + V (1 - 1/2) = T - 230

or

C (1 - 2/9) + V (1 - 1/2) = 230
