34 =
2432 Number of muffins that Kathy sold in the morning = 24 u
Number of muffins that Kathy sold in the afternoon = 5 u
Number of more muffins that Kathy sold in the morning than in the afternoon
= 24 u - 5 u
= 19 u
19 u = 38
1 u = 38 ÷ 19 = 2
Total number of muffins that Kathy made
= 32 u
= 32 x 2
= 64
