2736 Number of cupcakes that Jade sold in the morning = 27 u
Number of cupcakes that Jade sold in the afternoon = 5 u
Number of more cupcakes that Jade sold in the morning than in the afternoon
= 27 u - 5 u
= 22 u
22 u = 154
1 u = 154 ÷ 22 = 7
Total number of cupcakes that Jade made
= 36 u
= 36 x 7
= 252
