56 =
4554 Number of muffins that Gabby sold in the morning = 45 u
Number of muffins that Gabby sold in the afternoon = 5 u
Number of more muffins that Gabby sold in the morning than in the afternoon
= 45 u - 5 u
= 40 u
40 u = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 40 = 3
Total number of muffins that Gabby made
= 54 u
= 54 x 3
= 162
