Question

Mother has made laddus. She gives some laddus to guests and family members; still 5 laddus remain. If the number of laddus mother gave away is l, how many laddus did she make?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the number of laddus given away be ′l′.

Number of laddus remaining = 5

Therefore, the total number of laddus made will be equal to the sum of laddus given away and laddus remaining.

Total number of laddus = l+5

Answer 2

Answer:

Number of laddus given away: l

Number of laddus remaining: 5

Number of laddus mother made: l+5
