Mrs Daniel baked some scones. She gave
35 of the scones to her friend and
34 of the remainder to her auntie. Given that she gave 30 less scones to her auntie than her friend. How many scones did
she bake at first?

|
| 6 u |
3 u |
1 u |
10 u |
Number of less scones that Mrs Daniel gave to her auntie than her friend
= 6 u - 3 u
= 3 u
3 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 3 = 10
Number of scones that Mrs Daniel baked at first
= 10 u
= 10 x 10
= 100
Answer(s): 100
