23 =
1827 Number of muffins that Min sold in the afternoon = 18 u
Number of muffins that Min sold in the evening = 4 u
Number of more muffins that Min sold in the afternoon than in the evening
= 18 u - 4 u
= 14 u
14 u = 70
1 u = 70 ÷ 14 = 5
Total number of muffins that Min made
= 27 u
= 27 x 5
= 135
