45 =
2025 Number of tarts that Ivory sold in the afternoon = 20 u
Number of tarts that Ivory sold in the evening = 2 u
Number of more tarts that Ivory sold in the afternoon than in the evening
= 20 u - 2 u
= 18 u
18 u = 90
1 u = 90 ÷ 18 = 5
Total number of tarts that Ivory made
= 25 u
= 25 x 5
= 125
