25If Auntie Lynn baked another 36 vanilla puffs, there would be equal number of strawberry puffs and vanilla puffs in the end.
15 u + 18 = 12 u + 36
15 u - 12 u = 36 - 18
3 u = 18
1 u = 18 ÷ 3 = 6
Total puffs that Auntie Lynn baked
= 20 u + 24 + 20 u
= 40 u + 24
= 40 x 6 + 24
= 240 + 24
= 264
Answer(s): 264
