521Make the denominators the same.
57 =
1521 Number of muffins that Natalie sold in the afternoon = 15 u
Number of muffins that Natalie sold in the evening = 5 u
Number of more muffins that Natalie sold in the afternoon than in the evening
= 15 u - 5 u
= 10 u
10 u = 50
1 u = 50 ÷ 10 = 5
Total number of muffins that Natalie made
= 21 u
= 21 x 5
= 105
Answer(s): 105
