14Total number of cookies sold on Saturday
= 4 u + 120 + 3 u
= 7 u + 120
7 u + 120 = 225
7 u = 225 - 120
7 u = 105
1 u = 105 ÷ 7 = 15
Total number of cookies sold on Friday
= 4 u + 120 + 4 u
= 8 u + 120
Total number of cookies sold on both days
= 7 u + 120 + 8 u + 120
= 15 u + 240
= 15 x 15 + 240
= 225 + 240
= 465
Total amount received from the sale of cookies on both days
= 465 x 3.80
= $1767
Answer(s): $1767
