45If Auntie Xylia baked another 43 apple muffins, there would be equal number of cheese muffins and apple muffins in the end.
5 u + 34 = 2 u + 43
5 u - 2 u = 43 - 34
3 u = 9
1 u = 9 ÷ 3 = 3
Total muffins that Auntie Xylia baked
= 10 u + 68 + 10 u
= 20 u + 68
= 20 x 3 + 68
= 60 + 68
= 128
Answer(s): 128
