2835 Number of macarons that Xuan sold in the afternoon = 28 u
Number of macarons that Xuan sold in the evening = 4 u
Number of more macarons that Xuan sold in the afternoon than in the evening
= 28 u - 4 u
= 24 u
24 u = 240
1 u = 240 ÷ 24 = 10
Total number of macarons that Xuan made
= 35 u
= 35 x 10
= 350
