15If Auntie Jen baked another 58 chocolate chip puffs, there would be equal number of blueberry puffs and chocolate chip puffs in the end.
30 u + 48 = 28 u + 58
30 u - 28 u = 58 - 48
2 u = 10
1 u = 10 ÷ 2 = 5
Total puffs that Auntie Jen baked
= 35 u + 56 + 35 u
= 70 u + 56
= 70 x 5 + 56
= 350 + 56
= 406
Answer(s): 406
