56 =
4048 Number of muffins that Ivory sold in the afternoon = 40 u
Number of muffins that Ivory sold in the evening = 5 u
Number of more muffins that Ivory sold in the afternoon than in the evening
= 40 u - 5 u
= 35 u
35 u = 420
1 u = 420 ÷ 35 = 12
Total number of muffins that Ivory made
= 48 u
= 48 x 12
= 576
