2025 Number of macarons that Elyse sold in the morning = 20 u
Number of macarons that Elyse sold in the evening = 3 u
Number of more macarons that Elyse sold in the morning than in the evening
= 20 u - 3 u
= 17 u
17 u = 119
1 u = 119 ÷ 17 = 7
Total number of macarons that Elyse made
= 25 u
= 25 x 7
= 175
