35If Auntie Jean baked another 56 chocolate chip buns, there would be equal number of apricot buns and chocolate chip buns in the end.
20 u + 32 = 14 u + 56
20 u - 14 u = 56 - 32
6 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 6 = 4
Total buns that Auntie Jean baked
= 35 u + 56 + 35 u
= 70 u + 56
= 70 x 4 + 56
= 280 + 56
= 336
Answer(s): 336
