Let's use "n" as the number of strawberry cookies sold.
According to the problem, Luny sold 162 more vanilla chocolate cookies than strawberry cookies. This means the number of vanilla chocolate cookies sold was:
n + 162
And we know that the total number of cookies sold was 424. So the equation would be:
n + (n + 162) = 424
Simplifying this equation:
2n + 162 = 424
Now we can solve for "n":
2n = 262
n = 131
Therefore, Luny sold 131 strawberry cookies.
