1016 Number of shortbreads that Dana sold in the afternoon = 10 u
Number of shortbreads that Dana sold in the evening = 5 u
Number of more shortbreads that Dana sold in the afternoon than in the evening
= 10 u - 5 u
= 5 u
5 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 5 = 12
Total number of shortbreads that Dana made
= 16 u
= 16 x 12
= 192
Answer(s): 192
