56 =
3542 Number of muffins that Raeann sold in the afternoon = 35 u
Number of muffins that Raeann sold in the evening = 5 u
Number of more muffins that Raeann sold in the afternoon than in the evening
= 35 u - 5 u
= 30 u
30 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 30 = 2
Total number of muffins that Raeann made
= 42 u
= 42 x 2
= 84
