Yesterday, Will had 68 scones and 80 shortbreads. This morning, he sold 38 scones and bought some more shortbreads. Now he has five times as many shortbreads as scones. How many shortbreads did he buy today?

+ ? |
| After |
1 u |
5 u |
Number of scones in the end
= 68 - 38
= 30
1 u = 30
Number of shortbreads in the end
= 5 u
= 5 x 30
= 150
Number of shortbreads that Will bought today
= 5 u - 80
= 150 - 80
= 70
