How many muffins did she give away?

Given Information: Given: Betty initially had $100$ muffins. $\newline$ She gave away an unknown number of muffins, let's call this number $G$ . $\newline$ She then baked $35$ more muffins. $\newline$ Afterwards, she sold all $80$ muffins she had left. $\newline$ We need to find the value of $G$ .
Calculate Total Muffins: Calculate the total number of muffins Betty had after baking more. $\newline$ Initial muffins = $100$ $\newline$ Muffins baked = $35$ $\newline$ Total muffins after baking = $100 + 35$ $\newline$ Total muffins after baking = $135$
Find Muffins Given Away: Use the information that Betty sold $80$ muffins to find out how many she gave away. $\newline$ Total muffins after baking = $135$ $\newline$ Muffins sold = $80$ $\newline$ Muffins given away = Total muffins after baking - Muffins sold $\newline$ Muffins given away = $135 - 80$ $\newline$ Muffins given away = $55$
