Yesterday, Tommy had 55 macarons and 50 croissants. This morning, he sold 27 macarons and bought some more croissants. Now he has twice as many croissants as macarons. How many croissants did he buy today?

1 u |
2 u |
Number of macarons in the end

= 28
1 u = 28
Number of croissants in the end
= 2 u
= 2 x 28
= 56
Number of croissants that Tommy bought today
= 2 u - 50
= 56 - 50
