1620 Number of croissants that Xylia sold in the morning = 16 u
Number of croissants that Xylia sold in the evening = 3 u
Number of more croissants that Xylia sold in the morning than in the evening
= 16 u - 3 u
= 13 u
13 u = 39
1 u = 39 ÷ 13 = 3
Total number of croissants that Xylia made
= 20 u
= 20 x 3
= 60
Answer(s): 60
