23 =
1421 Number of wafers that Gabby sold in the morning = 14 u
Number of wafers that Gabby sold in the evening = 4 u
Number of more wafers that Gabby sold in the morning than in the evening
= 14 u - 4 u
= 10 u
10 u = 110
1 u = 110 ÷ 10 = 11
Total number of wafers that Gabby made
= 21 u
= 21 x 11
= 231
