44 - 11 = 33
If Auntie Tiffany baked another 45 chocolate chip puffs, there would be equal number of blueberry puffs and chocolate chip puffs in the end.
15 u + 33 = 12 u + 45
15 u - 12 u = 45 - 33
3 u = 12
1 u = 12 ÷ 3 = 4
Total puffs that Auntie Tiffany baked
= 20 u + 44 + 20 u
= 40 u + 44
= 40 x 4 + 44
= 160 + 44
= 204
Answer(s): 204
