38 x 32 = 12
32 - 12 = 20

35If Auntie Mary baked another 38 cheese muffins, there would be equal number of banana muffins and cheese muffins in the end.
25 u + 20 = 16 u + 38
25 u - 16 u = 38 - 20
9 u = 18
1 u = 18 ÷ 9 = 2
Total muffins that Auntie Mary baked
= 40 u + 32 + 40 u
= 80 u + 32
= 80 x 2 + 32
= 160 + 32
= 192
Answer(s): 192
