He sold each tart for $1.40. He sold a total of 465 cupcakes on Tuesday. How much money did he receive from the sale of cupcakes on both days?

	Cheese cupcakes	Cherry cupcakes	Total
Comparing cheese and cherry cupcakes  at first	125 more
Before	10 u + 125	10 u	20 u + 125
Change		- 3 u
After	10 u + 125	7 u	17 u + 125

30% = ³⁰₁₀₀ = ³₁₀

Total number of cupcakes sold on Tuesday
= 10 u + 125 + 7 u
= 17 u + 125

17 u + 125 = 465
17 u = 465 - 125
17 u = 340 

1 u = 340 ÷ 17 = 20

Total number of cupcakes sold on Monday
= 10 u + 125 + 10 u
= 20 u + 125

Total number of cupcakes sold on both days
= 17 u + 125 + 20 u + 125
= 37 u + 250
= 37 x 20 + 250
= 740 + 250
= 990

Total amount received from the sale of cupcakes on both days
= 990 x 1.40
= $1386

Answer(s): $1386
