34 =
1520 Number of muffins that Lynn sold in the afternoon = 15 u
Number of muffins that Lynn sold in the evening = 3 u
Number of more muffins that Lynn sold in the afternoon than in the evening
= 15 u - 3 u
= 12 u
12 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 12 = 2
Total number of muffins that Lynn made
= 20 u
= 20 x 2
= 40
