Mrs Michael baked some puffs. She gave
25 of the puffs to her niece and
49 of the remainder to her mother. Given that she gave 30 less puffs to her mother than her niece. How many puffs did
she bake at first?

Mother |
Left |
|
| 6 u |
4 u |
5 u |
15 u |
Number of less puffs that Mrs Michael gave to her mother than her niece
= 6 u - 4 u
= 2 u
2 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 2 = 15
Number of puffs that Mrs Michael baked at first
= 15 u
= 15 x 15
= 225
Answer(s): 225
