45If Auntie Kylie baked another 174 banana muffins, there would be equal number of chocolate chip muffins and banana muffins in the end.
25 u + 30 = 7 u + 174
25 u - 7 u = 174 - 30
18 u = 144
1 u = 144 ÷ 18 = 8
Total muffins that Auntie Kylie baked
= 35 u + 42 + 35 u
= 70 u + 42
= 70 x 8 + 42
= 560 + 42
= 602
Answer(s): 602
