710Total number of tarts sold on Sunday
= 10 u + 44 + 3 u
= 13 u + 44
13 u + 44 = 382
13 u = 382 - 44
13 u = 338
1 u = 338 ÷ 13 = 26
Total number of tarts sold on Saturday
= 10 u + 44 + 10 u
= 20 u + 44
Total number of tarts sold on both days
= 13 u + 44 + 20 u + 44
= 33 u + 88
= 33 x 26 + 88
= 858 + 88
= 946
Total amount received from the sale of tarts on both days
= 946 x 3.50
= $3311
Answer(s): $3311
