35Total number of tarts sold on Friday
= 5 u + 74 + 2 u
= 7 u + 74
7 u + 74 = 256
7 u = 256 - 74
7 u = 182
1 u = 182 ÷ 7 = 26
Total number of tarts sold on Thursday
= 5 u + 74 + 5 u
= 10 u + 74
Total number of tarts sold on both days
= 7 u + 74 + 10 u + 74
= 17 u + 148
= 17 x 26 + 148
= 442 + 148
= 590
Total amount received from the sale of tarts on both days
= 590 x 4.70
= $2773
Answer(s): $2773
