34 =
1824 Number of cupcakes that Marion sold in the afternoon = 18 u
Number of cupcakes that Marion sold in the evening = 5 u
Number of more cupcakes that Marion sold in the afternoon than in the evening
= 18 u - 5 u
= 13 u
13 u = 91
1 u = 91 ÷ 13 = 7
Total number of cupcakes that Marion made
= 24 u
= 24 x 7
= 168
Answer(s): 168
