May and Dawn each brought some sweets to the class.
Each of them took out the same number of sweets to distribute to their classmates.
If May took out 1/4 of her sweets and gave each of her classmates 6 sweets,
she would have 14 sweets left over.
If dawn took out 1/2 of her sweets and gave each of her classmates 8 sweets,
she would be short of 10 sweets.
How many sweets did each girl have at first?

Have fun,
Mrs R
