3514 x 48 = 12
48 - 12 = 36
If Auntie Vanessa baked another 64 blueberry puffs, there would be equal number of banana puffs and blueberry puffs in the end.
15 u + 36 = 8 u + 64
15 u - 8 u = 64 - 36
7 u = 28
1 u = 28 ÷ 7 = 4
Total puffs that Auntie Vanessa baked
= 20 u + 48 + 20 u
= 40 u + 48
= 40 x 4 + 48
= 160 + 48
= 208
Answer(s): 208
