Tea-time cakes (Posted on 2017-09-01)

Whenever Mother goes shopping she brings home half a dozen boxes of fancy cakes, invariably dividing her custom between B's Tea Rooms, S's Bakery
and P's Stores whose boxes contain 3, 4, and 5 cakes respectively.

During last month she made seven such expeditions and came home with a different number of cakes each time, 80 in all coming from P's Stores.

How many were provided by S's Bakery?
