34 =
3040 Number of tarts that Winnie sold in the afternoon = 30 u
Number of tarts that Winnie sold in the evening = 3 u
Number of more tarts that Winnie sold in the afternoon than in the evening
= 30 u - 3 u
= 27 u
27 u = 243
1 u = 243 ÷ 27 = 9
Total number of tarts that Winnie made
= 40 u
= 40 x 9
= 360
