15Total number of wafers sold on Friday
= 5 u + 32 + 4 u
= 9 u + 32
9 u + 32 = 248
9 u = 248 - 32
9 u = 216
1 u = 216 ÷ 9 = 24
Total number of wafers sold on Thursday
= 5 u + 32 + 5 u
= 10 u + 32
Total number of wafers sold on both days
= 9 u + 32 + 10 u + 32
= 19 u + 64
= 19 x 24 + 64
= 456 + 64
= 520
Total amount received from the sale of wafers on both days
= 520 x 5.10
= $2652
Answer(s): $2652
