1620 Number of macarons that Jean sold in the afternoon = 16 u
Number of macarons that Jean sold in the evening = 3 u
Number of more macarons that Jean sold in the afternoon than in the evening
= 16 u - 3 u
= 13 u
13 u = 117
1 u = 117 ÷ 13 = 9
Total number of macarons that Jean made
= 20 u
= 20 x 9
= 180
