Mrs Carl baked some muffins. She gave
37 of the muffins to her buddy and
38 of the remainder to her auntie. Given that she gave 24 less muffins to her auntie than her buddy. How many muffins did
she bake at first?

| 6 u |
3 u |
5 u |
14 u |
Number of less muffins that Mrs Carl gave to her auntie than her buddy
= 6 u - 3 u
= 3 u
3 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 3 = 8
Number of muffins that Mrs Carl baked at first
= 14 u
= 14 x 8
= 112
