1620 Number of biscuits that Olivia sold in the afternoon = 16 u
Number of biscuits that Olivia sold in the evening = 3 u
Number of more biscuits that Olivia sold in the afternoon than in the evening
= 16 u - 3 u
= 13 u
13 u = 65
1 u = 65 ÷ 13 = 5
Total number of biscuits that Olivia made
= 20 u
= 20 x 5
= 100
