57 =
2535 Number of macarons that Jane sold in the afternoon = 25 u
Number of macarons that Jane sold in the evening = 3 u
Number of more macarons that Jane sold in the afternoon than in the evening
= 25 u - 3 u
= 22 u
22 u = 198
1 u = 198 ÷ 22 = 9
Total number of macarons that Jane made
= 35 u
= 35 x 9
= 315
