1827 Number of biscuits that Roshel sold in the morning = 18 u
Number of biscuits that Roshel sold in the afternoon = 2 u
Number of more biscuits that Roshel sold in the morning than in the afternoon
= 18 u - 2 u
= 16 u
16 u = 160
1 u = 160 ÷ 16 = 10
Total number of biscuits that Roshel made
= 27 u
= 27 x 10
= 270
Answer(s): 270
