Mrs Wesley baked some wafers. She gave
38 of the wafers to her father and
215 of the remainder to her cousin. Given that she gave 28 less wafers to her cousin than her father. How many wafers did
she bake at first?

|
| 9 u |
2 u |
13 u |
24 u |
Number of less wafers that Mrs Wesley gave to her cousin than her father
= 9 u - 2 u
= 7 u
7 u = 28
1 u = 28 ÷ 7 = 4
Number of wafers that Mrs Wesley baked at first
= 24 u
= 24 x 4
= 96
Answer(s): 96
