Yesterday, Cody had 47 muffins and 34 shortbreads. This morning, he sold 24 muffins and bought some more shortbreads. Now he has five times as many shortbreads as muffins. How many shortbreads did he buy today?

+ ? |
| After |
1 u |
5 u |
Number of muffins in the end

= 23
1 u = 23
Number of shortbreads in the end
= 5 u
= 5 x 23
= 115
Number of shortbreads that Cody bought today
= 5 u - 34
= 115 - 34
= 81
