1827 Number of scones that Erika sold in the afternoon = 18 u
Number of scones that Erika sold in the evening = 2 u
Number of more scones that Erika sold in the afternoon than in the evening
= 18 u - 2 u
= 16 u
16 u = 192
1 u = 192 ÷ 16 = 12
Total number of scones that Erika made
= 27 u
= 27 x 12
= 324
