Mrs Brandon baked some tarts. She gave
35 of the tarts to her friend and
34 of the remainder to her nephew. Given that she gave 30 less tarts to her nephew than her friend. How many tarts did
she bake at first?

| 6 u |
3 u |
1 u |
10 u |
Number of less tarts that Mrs Brandon gave to her nephew than her friend
= 6 u - 3 u
= 3 u
3 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 3 = 10
Number of tarts that Mrs Brandon baked at first
= 10 u
= 10 x 10
= 100
Answer(s): 100
