45 =
1215 Number of croissants that Winnie sold in the morning = 12 u
Number of croissants that Winnie sold in the evening = 2 u
Number of more croissants that Winnie sold in the morning than in the evening
= 12 u - 2 u
= 10 u
10 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 10 = 3
Total number of croissants that Winnie made
= 15 u
= 15 x 3
= 45
Answer(s): 45
