Problem
Bertha has 6 daughters and no sons. Some of her daughters have 6 daughters, and the rest have none. Bertha has a total of 30 daughters and granddaughters, and no great-granddaughters. How many of Bertha's daughters and grand-daughters have no daughters?
Solution
Since Bertha has 6 daughters, Bertha has 
granddaughters, of which none have daughters. Of Bertha's daughters,

do not have daughters 
.
