45If Auntie Cindy baked another 96 cranberry puffs, there would be equal number of apple puffs and cranberry puffs in the end.
35 u + 42 = 8 u + 96
35 u - 8 u = 96 - 42
27 u = 54
1 u = 54 ÷ 27 = 2
Total puffs that Auntie Cindy baked
= 40 u + 48 + 40 u
= 80 u + 48
= 80 x 2 + 48
= 160 + 48
= 208
Answer(s): 208
