Mrs Charlie baked some wafers. She gave
25 of the wafers to her buddy and
29 of the remainder to her friend. Given that she gave 16 less wafers to her friend than her buddy. How many wafers did
she bake at first?

Friend |
Left |
|
| 6 u |
2 u |
7 u |
15 u |
Number of less wafers that Mrs Charlie gave to her friend than her buddy
= 6 u - 2 u
= 4 u
4 u = 16
1 u = 16 ÷ 4 = 4
Number of wafers that Mrs Charlie baked at first
= 15 u
= 15 x 4
= 60
Answer(s): 60
