On Thursday, the number of cherry cupcakes he sold decreased by 25% while the number of blueberry cupcakes he sold remained the same. He sold each tart for $5.50. He sold a total of 455 cupcakes on Thursday. How much money did he receive from the sale of cupcakes on both days?

	Blueberry cupcakes	Cherry cupcakes	Total
Comparing blueberry and cherry cupcakes  at first	133 more
Before	4 u + 133	4 u	8 u + 133
Change		- 1 u
After	4 u + 133	3 u	7 u + 133

25% = ²⁵₁₀₀ = ¹₄

Total number of cupcakes sold on Thursday
= 4 u + 133 + 3 u
= 7 u + 133

7 u + 133 = 455
7 u = 455 - 133
7 u = 322 

1 u = 322 ÷ 7 = 46

Total number of cupcakes sold on Wednesday
= 4 u + 133 + 4 u
= 8 u + 133

Total number of cupcakes sold on both days
= 7 u + 133 + 8 u + 133
= 15 u + 266
= 15 x 46 + 266
= 690 + 266
= 956

Total amount received from the sale of cupcakes on both days
= 956 x 5.50
= $5258

Answer(s): $5258
