Yesterday, Flynn had 66 cupcakes and 32 scones. This morning, he sold 20 cupcakes and bought some more scones. Now he has five times as many scones as cupcakes. How many scones did he buy today?

+ ? |
| After |
1 u |
5 u |
Number of cupcakes in the end
= 66 - 20
= 46
1 u = 46
Number of scones in the end
= 5 u
= 5 x 46
= 230
Number of scones that Flynn bought today
= 5 u - 32
