35Total number of doughnuts sold on Wednesday
= 5 u + 75 + 2 u
= 7 u + 75
7 u + 75 = 250
7 u = 250 - 75
7 u = 175
1 u = 175 ÷ 7 = 25
Total number of doughnuts sold on Tuesday
= 5 u + 75 + 5 u
= 10 u + 75
Total number of doughnuts sold on both days
= 7 u + 75 + 10 u + 75
= 17 u + 150
= 17 x 25 + 150
= 425 + 150
= 575
Total amount received from the sale of doughnuts on both days
= 575 x 1.40
= $805
Answer(s): $805
