110Total number of wafers sold on Wednesday
= 10 u + 110 + 9 u
= 19 u + 110
19 u + 110 = 1060
19 u = 1060 - 110
19 u = 950
1 u = 950 ÷ 19 = 50
Total number of wafers sold on Tuesday
= 10 u + 110 + 10 u
= 20 u + 110
Total number of wafers sold on both days
= 19 u + 110 + 20 u + 110
= 39 u + 220
= 39 x 50 + 220
= 1950 + 220
= 2170
Total amount received from the sale of wafers on both days
= 2170 x 1.50
= $3255
Answer(s): $3255
