58 =
1524 Number of scones that Winnie sold in the morning = 15 u
Number of scones that Winnie sold in the afternoon = 5 u
Number of more scones that Winnie sold in the morning than in the afternoon
= 15 u - 5 u
= 10 u
10 u = 110
1 u = 110 ÷ 10 = 11
Total number of scones that Winnie made
= 24 u
= 24 x 11
= 264
