Question

Sam bakes a variety of biscuits. 1/3

are peanut, 12 are raisin and the
remaining 12 were oat. How many
biscuits are baked?

Answer 1

Answer: 36

Explanation:

Let the no. of biscuits be x

Peanuts will be 1/3x

So,

1/3x + 12 + 12 = x

1/3x + 24 = x

x + 72 = 3x

x-3x = -72

x = 72/2 = 36

Peanut biscuits will be 1/3 * 36 = 12

Total no. of biscuits baked were 12+12+12 = 36
