2835 Number of macarons that Lucy sold in the morning = 28 u
Number of macarons that Lucy sold in the evening = 2 u
Number of more macarons that Lucy sold in the morning than in the evening
= 28 u - 2 u
= 26 u
26 u = 78
1 u = 78 ÷ 26 = 3
Total number of macarons that Lucy made
= 35 u
= 35 x 3
= 105
