45If Auntie Nicole baked another 126 cherry buns, there would be equal number of cranberry buns and cherry buns in the end.
20 u + 48 = 7 u + 126
20 u - 7 u = 126 - 48
13 u = 78
1 u = 78 ÷ 13 = 6
Total buns that Auntie Nicole baked
= 35 u + 84 + 35 u
= 70 u + 84
= 70 x 6 + 84
= 420 + 84
= 504
Answer(s): 504
