110Total number of puffs sold on Saturday
= 10 u + 68 + 9 u
= 19 u + 68
19 u + 68 = 372
19 u = 372 - 68
19 u = 304
1 u = 304 ÷ 19 = 16
Total number of puffs sold on Friday
= 10 u + 68 + 10 u
= 20 u + 68
Total number of puffs sold on both days
= 19 u + 68 + 20 u + 68
= 39 u + 136
= 39 x 16 + 136
= 624 + 136
= 760
Total amount received from the sale of puffs on both days
= 760 x 3.30
= $2508
Answer(s): $2508
