35If Auntie Tiffany baked another 111 blueberry muffins, there would be equal number of apricot muffins and blueberry muffins in the end.
25 u + 20 = 12 u + 111
25 u - 12 u = 111 - 20
13 u = 91
1 u = 91 ÷ 13 = 7
Total muffins that Auntie Tiffany baked
= 30 u + 24 + 30 u
= 60 u + 24
= 60 x 7 + 24
= 420 + 24
= 444
Answer(s): 444
