110Total number of puffs sold on Thursday
= 10 u + 65 + 9 u
= 19 u + 65
19 u + 65 = 445
19 u = 445 - 65
19 u = 380
1 u = 380 ÷ 19 = 20
Total number of puffs sold on Wednesday
= 10 u + 65 + 10 u
= 20 u + 65
Total number of puffs sold on both days
= 19 u + 65 + 20 u + 65
= 39 u + 130
= 39 x 20 + 130
= 780 + 130
= 910
Total amount received from the sale of puffs on both days
= 910 x 3.80
= $3458
Answer(s): $3458
