1218 Number of macarons that Jade sold in the afternoon = 12 u
Number of macarons that Jade sold in the evening = 5 u
Number of more macarons that Jade sold in the afternoon than in the evening
= 12 u - 5 u
= 7 u
7 u = 42
1 u = 42 ÷ 7 = 6
Total number of macarons that Jade made
= 18 u
= 18 x 6
= 108
