2025 Number of croissants that Pamela sold in the morning = 20 u
Number of croissants that Pamela sold in the evening = 2 u
Number of more croissants that Pamela sold in the morning than in the evening
= 20 u - 2 u
= 18 u
18 u = 54
1 u = 54 ÷ 18 = 3
Total number of croissants that Pamela made
= 25 u
= 25 x 3
= 75
Answer(s): 75
