110Total number of tarts sold on Sunday
= 10 u + 137 + 9 u
= 19 u + 137
19 u + 137 = 1068
19 u = 1068 - 137
19 u = 931
1 u = 931 ÷ 19 = 49
Total number of tarts sold on Saturday
= 10 u + 137 + 10 u
= 20 u + 137
Total number of tarts sold on both days
= 19 u + 137 + 20 u + 137
= 39 u + 274
= 39 x 49 + 274
= 1911 + 274
= 2185
Total amount received from the sale of tarts on both days
= 2185 x 3.20
= $6992
Answer(s): $6992
