3645 Number of cookies that Vanessa sold in the morning = 36 u
Number of cookies that Vanessa sold in the evening = 4 u
Number of more cookies that Vanessa sold in the morning than in the evening
= 36 u - 4 u
= 32 u
32 u = 352
1 u = 352 ÷ 32 = 11
Total number of cookies that Vanessa made
= 45 u
= 45 x 11
= 495
