35If Auntie Nicole baked another 135 apricot puffs, there would be equal number of blueberry puffs and apricot puffs in the end.
25 u + 70 = 12 u + 135
25 u - 12 u = 135 - 70
13 u = 65
1 u = 65 ÷ 13 = 5
Total puffs that Auntie Nicole baked
= 30 u + 84 + 30 u
= 60 u + 84
= 60 x 5 + 84
= 300 + 84
= 384
Answer(s): 384
