Mrs Carl baked some wafers. She gave
25 of the wafers to her nephew and
29 of the remainder to her father. Given that she gave 36 less wafers to her father than her nephew. How many wafers did
she bake at first?

6 u |
2 u |
7 u |
15 u |
Number of less wafers that Mrs Carl gave to her father than her nephew
= 6 u - 2 u
= 4 u
4 u = 36
1 u = 36 ÷ 4 = 9
Number of wafers that Mrs Carl baked at first
= 15 u
= 15 x 9
= 135
Answer(s): 135
