Fanny baked 32 wafers. ⁵₈ of the wafers were butter cream wafers. The rest were peach wafers. She gave an equal number of butter cream wafers and peach wafers away and had 5 times as many butter cream wafers as peach wafers left. How many wafers did she give away?

	Butter cream wafers	Peach wafers	Difference
Before	5x2 = 10 u	3x2 = 6 u	2x2 = 4 u
Change	- 5 u	- 5 u
After	5x1 = 5 u	1x1 = 1 u	4x1 = 4 u

Since Fanny gave away an equal number of butter cream wafers and peach wafers, the difference in the number of butter cream wafers and peach wafers remains unchanged.  Make the difference in the butter cream wafers and peach wafers the same.  LCM of 2 and 4 is 4.

Total number of wafers at first
= 10 u + 6 u
= 16 u

16 u = 32

1 u = 32 ÷ 16 = 2

Number of wafers that Fanny gave away
= 5 u + 5 u
= 10 u
= 10 x 2 
= 20

Answer(s): 20
