45Total number of muffins sold on Sunday
= 5 u + 35 + 1 u
= 6 u + 35
6 u + 35 = 185
6 u = 185 - 35
6 u = 150
1 u = 150 ÷ 6 = 25
Total number of muffins sold on Saturday
= 5 u + 35 + 5 u
= 10 u + 35
Total number of muffins sold on both days
= 6 u + 35 + 10 u + 35
= 16 u + 70
= 16 x 25 + 70
= 400 + 70
= 470
Total amount received from the sale of muffins on both days
= 470 x 1.30
= $611
Answer(s): $611
