45If Auntie Cindy baked another 38 strawberry croissants, there would be equal number of vanilla croissants and strawberry croissants in the end.
5 u + 32 = 2 u + 38
5 u - 2 u = 38 - 32
3 u = 6
1 u = 6 ÷ 3 = 2
Total croissants that Auntie Cindy baked
= 10 u + 64 + 10 u
= 20 u + 64
= 20 x 2 + 64
= 40 + 64
= 104
Answer(s): 104
