Description

Countess Vulga and Count Mixeda have discovered that a chunk of the royal chocolate bar has been stolen. Each character has a chunk each and their job is to work out how big the third chunk is, i.e. the piece that has been stolen. Countess Vulga calculates using equivalent fractions whilst Count Mixeda creatively converts to decimals or percentage, or simplifies the fractions, to find the size of the missing chunk.
