Mrs Owen baked some croissants. She gave
35 of the croissants to her best friend and
34 of the remainder to her uncle. Given that she gave 30 less croissants to her uncle than her best friend. How many croissants did
she bake at first?
| Best Friend |

| 3x2 |
2x2 |
5x2 |
| |
Uncle |
Left |
|
| 6 u |
3 u |
1 u |
10 u |
Number of less croissants that Mrs Owen gave to her uncle than her best friend
= 6 u - 3 u
= 3 u
3 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 3 = 10
Number of croissants that Mrs Owen baked at first
= 10 u
= 10 x 10
= 100
Answer(s): 100
