45 =
1215 Number of muffins that Xuan sold in the morning = 12 u
Number of muffins that Xuan sold in the afternoon = 2 u
Number of more muffins that Xuan sold in the morning than in the afternoon
= 12 u - 2 u
= 10 u
10 u = 110
1 u = 110 ÷ 10 = 11
Total number of muffins that Xuan made
= 15 u
= 15 x 11
= 165
