Solution

The correct option is B $20 x - 145 = 5 x + 35$
Number of toffees in each packet $= x$

Initially, Miara had 20 packets of toffees.
She gave 145 toffees to her friends.
⇒ Toffees left with Miara $= 20 x - 145$

It is given that she is left with 5 packets and 35 toffees.
⇒ Toffees left with Miara $= 5 x + 35$

By equating the expressions for the number of toffees left, we get
$20 x - 145 = 5 x + 35$
