15Total number of macarons sold on Wednesday
= 5 u + 69 + 4 u
= 9 u + 69
9 u + 69 = 411
9 u = 411 - 69
9 u = 342
1 u = 342 ÷ 9 = 38
Total number of macarons sold on Tuesday
= 5 u + 69 + 5 u
= 10 u + 69
Total number of macarons sold on both days
= 9 u + 69 + 10 u + 69
= 19 u + 138
= 19 x 38 + 138
= 722 + 138
= 860
Total amount received from the sale of macarons on both days
= 860 x 2.10
= $1806
