1624 Number of cookies that Irene sold in the afternoon = 16 u
Number of cookies that Irene sold in the evening = 5 u
Number of more cookies that Irene sold in the afternoon than in the evening
= 16 u - 5 u
= 11 u
11 u = 22
1 u = 22 ÷ 11 = 2
Total number of cookies that Irene made
= 24 u
= 24 x 2
= 48
