23 =
1421 Number of macarons that Eva sold in the morning = 14 u
Number of macarons that Eva sold in the afternoon = 4 u
Number of more macarons that Eva sold in the morning than in the afternoon
= 14 u - 4 u
= 10 u
10 u = 40
1 u = 40 ÷ 10 = 4
Total number of macarons that Eva made
= 21 u
= 21 x 4
= 84
