35Total number of tarts sold on Sunday
= 5 u + 44 + 2 u
= 7 u + 44
7 u + 44 = 156
7 u = 156 - 44
7 u = 112
1 u = 112 ÷ 7 = 16
Total number of tarts sold on Saturday
= 5 u + 44 + 5 u
= 10 u + 44
Total number of tarts sold on both days
= 7 u + 44 + 10 u + 44
= 17 u + 88
= 17 x 16 + 88
= 272 + 88
= 360
Total amount received from the sale of tarts on both days
= 360 x 2.10
= $756
Answer(s): $756
