45 =
3240 Number of wafers that Nicole sold in the morning = 32 u
Number of wafers that Nicole sold in the evening = 3 u
Number of more wafers that Nicole sold in the morning than in the evening
= 32 u - 3 u
= 29 u
29 u = 203
1 u = 203 ÷ 29 = 7
Total number of wafers that Nicole made
= 40 u
= 40 x 7
= 280
Answer(s): 280
