23 =
1827 Number of wafers that Lucy sold in the morning = 18 u
Number of wafers that Lucy sold in the evening = 4 u
Number of more wafers that Lucy sold in the morning than in the evening
= 18 u - 4 u
= 14 u
14 u = 84
1 u = 84 ÷ 14 = 6
Total number of wafers that Lucy made
= 27 u
= 27 x 6
= 162
Answer(s): 162
