Mrs Zeph baked some tarts. She gave
37 of the tarts to her mother and
38 of the remainder to her buddy. Given that she gave 33 less tarts to her buddy than her mother. How many tarts did
she bake at first?

|
| 6 u |
3 u |
5 u |
14 u |
Number of less tarts that Mrs Zeph gave to her buddy than her mother
= 6 u - 3 u
= 3 u
3 u = 33
1 u = 33 ÷ 3 = 11
Number of tarts that Mrs Zeph baked at first
= 14 u
= 14 x 11
= 154
