Yesterday, Sean had 65 macarons and 24 scones. This morning, he sold 34 macarons and bought some more scones. Now he has four times as many scones as macarons. How many scones did he buy today?

Number of macarons in the end

= 31
1 u = 31
Number of scones in the end
= 4 u
= 4 x 31
= 124
Number of scones that Sean bought today
