Mrs Ethan baked some scones. She gave
25 of the scones to her mother and
29 of the remainder to her friend. Given that she gave 28 less scones to her friend than her mother. How many scones did
she bake at first?

| 6 u |
2 u |
7 u |
15 u |
Number of less scones that Mrs Ethan gave to her friend than her mother
= 6 u - 2 u
= 4 u
4 u = 28
1 u = 28 ÷ 4 = 7
Number of scones that Mrs Ethan baked at first
= 15 u
= 15 x 7
= 105
Answer(s): 105
