Mrs Bobby baked some shortbreads. She gave
25 of the shortbreads to her mother and
49 of the remainder to her best friend. Given that she gave 34 less shortbreads to her best friend than her mother. How many shortbreads did
she bake at first?

| 6 u |
4 u |
5 u |
15 u |
Number of less shortbreads that Mrs Bobby gave to her best friend than her mother
= 6 u - 4 u
= 2 u
2 u = 34
1 u = 34 ÷ 2 = 17
Number of shortbreads that Mrs Bobby baked at first
= 15 u
= 15 x 17
= 255
Answer(s): 255
