Mrs Harry baked some muffins. She gave
47 of the muffins to her mother and
49 of the remainder to her auntie. Given that she gave 24 less muffins to her auntie than her mother. How many muffins did
she bake at first?

|
| 12 u |
4 u |
5 u |
21 u |
Number of less muffins that Mrs Harry gave to her auntie than her mother
= 12 u - 4 u
= 8 u
8 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 8 = 3
Number of muffins that Mrs Harry baked at first
= 21 u
= 21 x 3
= 63
Answer(s): 63
