Since 130 files were given free, there were 130 customers who bought three files each.
Number of files that each customer would get if they bought three files each and got 1 file free
= 3 + 1
= 4
Total number of files for customers who each bought three files
= 4 x 130
= 520
Number of files for customers who each bought 1 file = 1 u - 520
Total amount collected from customers who bought 1 file each
= 6 x (1 u - 520)
= 6 u - 3120
Total amount collected from customers who bought three files each
= 130 x 3 x 6
= $2340
Total amount collected from all the customers
= 6 u - 3120 + 2340
= 6 u - 780
Flynn collected a total of $2060 more than what he had paid for.
6 u - 780 = 2 u + 2060
6 u - 2 u = 2060 + 780
4 u = 2840
1 u = 2840 ÷ 4 = 710
Number of customers who bought just one file
= 1 u - 520
= 710 - 520
= 190
Answer(s): 190
