13 x 48 = 16
48 - 16 = 32

35If Auntie Hazel baked another 44 apple buns, there would be equal number of cheese buns and apple buns in the end.
10 u + 32 = 6 u + 44
10 u - 6 u = 44 - 32
4 u = 12
1 u = 12 ÷ 4 = 3
Total buns that Auntie Hazel baked
= 15 u + 48 + 15 u
= 30 u + 48
= 30 x 3 + 48
= 90 + 48
= 138
Answer(s): 138
