2835 Number of tarts that Roshel sold in the afternoon = 28 u
Number of tarts that Roshel sold in the evening = 4 u
Number of more tarts that Roshel sold in the afternoon than in the evening
= 28 u - 4 u
= 24 u
24 u = 168
1 u = 168 ÷ 24 = 7
Total number of tarts that Roshel made
= 35 u
= 35 x 7
= 245
