Teacher Rem bought 360 pieces of cupcakes for the outreach program of their school. 5/9 of the cupcakes were chocolate flavor and 1/4 wete pandan flavor and the rest were a vanilla flavor. How much more pandan flavor cupcakes than vanilla flavor?

Correct answer:

x =  20

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=360\cdot 5\mathrm{/}9=200 \\ b=360\cdot 1\mathrm{/}4=90 \\ c=360-a-b=360-200-90=70 \\ x=b-c=90-70=20 \end{gathered}$$

It should say "how many more PANDAN cupcakes are there than vanilla", not chocolate.
