Mrs Andy baked some tarts. She gave
35 of the tarts to her father and
34 of the remainder to her cousin. Given that she gave 27 less tarts to her cousin than her father. How many tarts did
she bake at first?

Left |
|
| 6 u |
3 u |
1 u |
10 u |
Number of less tarts that Mrs Andy gave to her cousin than her father
= 6 u - 3 u
= 3 u
3 u = 27
1 u = 27 ÷ 3 = 9
Number of tarts that Mrs Andy baked at first
= 10 u
= 10 x 9
= 90
Answer(s): 90
