56 =
3542 Number of biscuits that Natalie sold in the morning = 35 u
Number of biscuits that Natalie sold in the afternoon = 5 u
Number of more biscuits that Natalie sold in the morning than in the afternoon
= 35 u - 5 u
= 30 u
30 u = 90
1 u = 90 ÷ 30 = 3
Total number of biscuits that Natalie made
= 42 u
= 42 x 3
= 126
Answer(s): 126
