25Total number of scones sold on Tuesday
= 5 u + 80 + 3 u
= 8 u + 80
8 u + 80 = 360
8 u = 360 - 80
8 u = 280
1 u = 280 ÷ 8 = 35
Total number of scones sold on Monday
= 5 u + 80 + 5 u
= 10 u + 80
Total number of scones sold on both days
= 8 u + 80 + 10 u + 80
= 18 u + 160
= 18 x 35 + 160
= 630 + 160
= 790
Total amount received from the sale of scones on both days
= 790 x 2.30
= $1817
Answer(s): $1817
