45If Auntie Tammy baked another 106 blueberry croissants, there would be equal number of chocolate chip croissants and blueberry croissants in the end.
15 u + 18 = 4 u + 106
15 u - 4 u = 106 - 18
11 u = 88
1 u = 88 ÷ 11 = 8
Total croissants that Auntie Tammy baked
= 20 u + 24 + 20 u
= 40 u + 24
= 40 x 8 + 24
= 320 + 24
= 344
Answer(s): 344
