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

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