1218 Number of wafers that Elyse sold in the morning = 12 u
Number of wafers that Elyse sold in the afternoon = 5 u
Number of more wafers that Elyse sold in the morning than in the afternoon
= 12 u - 5 u
= 7 u
7 u = 35
1 u = 35 ÷ 7 = 5
Total number of wafers that Elyse made
= 18 u
= 18 x 5
= 90
Answer(s): 90
