Mrs Ee baked some macarons of three flavours, which were chocolate chip, cheese and vanilla. She baked twice as many chocolate chip macarons as cheese macarons and twice as many vanilla macarons as chocolate chip macaron. Given that she baked 99 more vanilla macarons than cheese macarons, how many macarons did she bake?
Number of cheese macarons = 1 u
Number of chocolate chip macarons = 2 u
Number of vanilla macarons = 2 x 2 u = 4 u

Number of more vanilla macarons than cheese macarons
= 4 u - 1 u 
= 3 u

3 u = 99

1 u = 99 ÷ 3 = 33

Number of chocolate chip macarons
= 2 u
= 2 x 33
= 66

Number of vanilla macarons
= 4 u
= 4 x 33
= 132

Total number of macarons that he baked
= 33 + 66 + 132
= 231

Answer(s): 231
