2432 Number of cookies that Cindy sold in the afternoon = 24 u
Number of cookies that Cindy sold in the evening = 5 u
Number of more cookies that Cindy sold in the afternoon than in the evening
= 24 u - 5 u
= 19 u
19 u = 209
1 u = 209 ÷ 19 = 11
Total number of cookies that Cindy made
= 32 u
= 32 x 11
= 352
