2025 Number of scones that Tammy sold in the morning = 20 u
Number of scones that Tammy sold in the afternoon = 2 u
Number of more scones that Tammy sold in the morning than in the afternoon
= 20 u - 2 u
= 18 u
18 u = 144
1 u = 144 ÷ 18 = 8
Total number of scones that Tammy made
= 25 u
= 25 x 8
= 200
