Answer:

56 old houses

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 8 old houses there are 5, so there are 3 more.

For this reason, if there are 35 houses, it means that there are 5 times the houses.

So if we multiply 3 by 5 (which is the difference between old and new houses) it would give 21, which when adding it to 35 gives 56
