710Total number of puffs sold on Wednesday
= 10 u + 120 + 3 u
= 13 u + 120
13 u + 120 = 770
13 u = 770 - 120
13 u = 650
1 u = 650 ÷ 13 = 50
Total number of puffs sold on Tuesday
= 10 u + 120 + 10 u
= 20 u + 120
Total number of puffs sold on both days
= 13 u + 120 + 20 u + 120
= 33 u + 240
= 33 x 50 + 240
= 1650 + 240
= 1890
Total amount received from the sale of puffs on both days
= 1890 x 4.70
= $8883
Answer(s): $8883
