1 u + 396 |

- 196 |
| After |
1 u |
1 u + 200 |
(a)
After
Number of scones that Kylie had = 1 u
Number of scones that Mrs Ee had = 3 x 1 u = 3 u
Before
Number of scones that Kylie baked = 1 u
Number of scones that Mrs Ee baked = 1 u + 396
3 u = 1 u + 396 - 196
3 u - 1 u = 200
2 u = 200
1 u = 200 ÷ 2 = 100
Number of scones that Kylie baked
= 1 u
= 100
(b)
Number of scones that Mrs Ee baked
= 1 u + 396
= 100 + 396
= 496
Answer(s): (a) 100; (b) 496
