    Let cupcakes = c and muffins = m.

    c + m = 270

    After 1/3 of cupcakes are sold (leaving 2c/3) and 18 more muffins are baked (m + 18), there are twice as many cupcakes as muffins:

    2c/3 = 2 (m + 18)

    2c/3 = 2m + 36

    c = 3m + 54

    Substituting into the original equation:

    3m + 54 + m = 270

    4m = 216

    m = 54 muffins

    c = 3 (54) + 54 = 216 cupcakes
