23 of her money on some shortbreads and
37 of her remaining money on 6 muffins. Each muffin cost four times as much as a shortbread. How many shortbreads did she buy?

Cost of 1 muffin = Cost of 4 shortbreads
(x6)Cost of 6 muffins = Cost of 24 shortbreads
3 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 3 = 8
Number of shortbreads that Xuan bought
= 14 u
= 14 x 8
= 112
