Mrs Reggie baked some croissants. She gave
25 of the croissants to her nephew and
29 of the remainder to her auntie. Given that she gave 24 less croissants to her auntie than her nephew. How many croissants did
she bake at first?
| Nephew |

| 2x3 |
3x3 |
5x3 |
| |
Auntie |
Left |
|
| 6 u |
2 u |
7 u |
15 u |
Number of less croissants that Mrs Reggie gave to her auntie than her nephew
= 6 u - 2 u
= 4 u
4 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 4 = 6
Number of croissants that Mrs Reggie baked at first
= 15 u
= 15 x 6
= 90
Answer(s): 90
