47 =
1221 Number of cupcakes that Raeann sold in the morning = 12 u
Number of cupcakes that Raeann sold in the afternoon = 2 u
Number of more cupcakes that Raeann sold in the morning than in the afternoon
= 12 u - 2 u
= 10 u
10 u = 100
1 u = 100 ÷ 10 = 10
Total number of cupcakes that Raeann made
= 21 u
= 21 x 10
= 210
Answer(s): 210
