35If Auntie Hazel baked another 108 blueberry croissants, there would be equal number of banana croissants and blueberry croissants in the end.
15 u + 66 = 8 u + 108
15 u - 8 u = 108 - 66
7 u = 42
1 u = 42 ÷ 7 = 6
Total croissants that Auntie Hazel baked
= 20 u + 88 + 20 u
= 40 u + 88
= 40 x 6 + 88
= 240 + 88
= 328
Answer(s): 328
