23 =
1827 Number of muffins that Jaslyn sold in the morning = 18 u
Number of muffins that Jaslyn sold in the afternoon = 2 u
Number of more muffins that Jaslyn sold in the morning than in the afternoon
= 18 u - 2 u
= 16 u
16 u = 192
1 u = 192 ÷ 16 = 12
Total number of muffins that Jaslyn made
= 27 u
= 27 x 12
= 324
Answer(s): 324
