Mrs Zeph baked some muffins. She gave
25 of the muffins to her cousin and

| 6 u |
4 u |
5 u |
15 u |
Number of less muffins that Mrs Zeph gave to her nephew than her cousin
= 6 u - 4 u
= 2 u
2 u = 38
1 u = 38 ÷ 2 = 19
Number of muffins that Mrs Zeph baked at first
= 15 u
= 15 x 19
= 285
Answer(s): 285
