2128 Number of shortbreads that Yoko sold in the morning = 21 u
Number of shortbreads that Yoko sold in the evening = 5 u
Number of more shortbreads that Yoko sold in the morning than in the evening
= 21 u - 5 u
= 16 u
16 u = 176
1 u = 176 ÷ 16 = 11
Total number of shortbreads that Yoko made
= 28 u
= 28 x 11
= 308
Answer(s): 308
