524Make the denominators the same.
58 =
1524 Number of cookies that Hilda sold in the afternoon = 15 u
Number of cookies that Hilda sold in the evening = 5 u
Number of more cookies that Hilda sold in the afternoon than in the evening
= 15 u - 5 u
= 10 u
10 u = 70
1 u = 70 ÷ 10 = 7
Total number of cookies that Hilda made
= 24 u
= 24 x 7
= 168
