25Total number of scones sold on Tuesday
= 5 u + 90 + 3 u
= 8 u + 90
8 u + 90 = 210
8 u = 210 - 90
8 u = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 8 = 15
Total number of scones sold on Monday
= 5 u + 90 + 5 u
= 10 u + 90
Total number of scones sold on both days
= 8 u + 90 + 10 u + 90
= 18 u + 180
= 18 x 15 + 180
= 270 + 180
= 450
Total amount received from the sale of scones on both days
= 450 x 5.20
= $2340
Answer(s): $2340
