25Total number of muffins sold on Saturday
= 5 u + 142 + 3 u
= 8 u + 142
8 u + 142 = 518
8 u = 518 - 142
8 u = 376
1 u = 376 ÷ 8 = 47
Total number of muffins sold on Friday
= 5 u + 142 + 5 u
= 10 u + 142
Total number of muffins sold on both days
= 8 u + 142 + 10 u + 142
= 18 u + 284
= 18 x 47 + 284
= 846 + 284
= 1130
Total amount received from the sale of muffins on both days
= 1130 x 5.10
= $5763
Answer(s): $5763
