Little Andy ate 3 slices 2 times giving a total of 3*2=<<3*2=6>>6 slices of bread

1 piece of toast bread requires 2 slices of bread so 10 pieces need 10*2=<<10*2=20>>20 slices of bread

There is 1 slice of bread left so in total there were 6+20+1=<<6+20+1=27>>27 slices of bread in the loaf

Emma bought a loaf of bread that had a certain number of slices. Her little cousin Andy ate 3 slices from the bread at two different points in time, and then Emma decided she would make toast with the remaining slices. If she uses 2 slices of bread to make 1 piece of toast bread, how many slices were in the original loaf if she was able to make 10 pieces of toast bread and had 1 slice of bread left?
