45 =
4050 Number of croissants that Raeann sold in the morning = 40 u
Number of croissants that Raeann sold in the evening = 3 u
Number of more croissants that Raeann sold in the morning than in the evening
= 40 u - 3 u
= 37 u
37 u = 222
1 u = 222 ÷ 37 = 6
Total number of croissants that Raeann made
= 50 u
= 50 x 6
= 300
Answer(s): 300
