34 =
1520 Number of puffs that Jaslyn sold in the morning = 15 u
Number of puffs that Jaslyn sold in the evening = 3 u
Number of more puffs that Jaslyn sold in the morning than in the evening
= 15 u - 3 u
= 12 u
12 u = 48
1 u = 48 ÷ 12 = 4
Total number of puffs that Jaslyn made
= 20 u
= 20 x 4
= 80
Answer(s): 80
