35If Auntie Yen baked another 96 blueberry muffins, there would be equal number of apple muffins and blueberry muffins in the end.
10 u + 64 = 6 u + 96
10 u - 6 u = 96 - 64
4 u = 32
1 u = 32 ÷ 4 = 8
Total muffins that Auntie Yen baked
= 15 u + 96 + 15 u
= 30 u + 96
= 30 x 8 + 96
= 240 + 96
= 336
Answer(s): 336
