1624 Number of macarons that Kylie sold in the morning = 16 u
Number of macarons that Kylie sold in the afternoon = 5 u
Number of more macarons that Kylie sold in the morning than in the afternoon
= 16 u - 5 u
= 11 u
11 u = 88
1 u = 88 ÷ 11 = 8
Total number of macarons that Kylie made
= 24 u
= 24 x 8
= 192
