47 =
814 Number of scones that Vanessa sold in the morning = 8 u
Number of scones that Vanessa sold in the evening = 5 u
Number of more scones that Vanessa sold in the morning than in the evening
= 8 u - 5 u
= 3 u
3 u = 12
1 u = 12 ÷ 3 = 4
Total number of scones that Vanessa made
= 14 u
= 14 x 4
= 56
