57 =
1521 Number of macarons that Elyse sold in the afternoon = 15 u
Number of macarons that Elyse sold in the evening = 5 u
Number of more macarons that Elyse sold in the afternoon than in the evening
= 15 u - 5 u
= 10 u
10 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 10 = 3
Total number of macarons that Elyse made
= 21 u
= 21 x 3
= 63
