P4 maths!
18 students in a party. Each boy eats 5 sweets and each girl eats 3 sweets. In total, boys eat 42 more sweets than girls. How many more boys are in the party?

Solution:
Let x be the sweets-student unit.
48x = 144 (18*8)
x=3
Boy has 2 more sweets. So 3*2=6.
There are 6 more boys than girls.
