Mrs Neave baked some tarts. She gave
25 of the tarts to her niece and
49 of the remainder to her buddy. Given that she gave 22 less tarts to her buddy than her niece. How many tarts did
she bake at first?

Buddy |
Left |
|
| 6 u |
4 u |
5 u |
15 u |
Number of less tarts that Mrs Neave gave to her buddy than her niece
= 6 u - 4 u
= 2 u
2 u = 22
1 u = 22 ÷ 2 = 11
Number of tarts that Mrs Neave baked at first
= 15 u
= 15 x 11
= 165
Answer(s): 165
