25Total number of wafers sold on Tuesday
= 5 u + 105 + 3 u
= 8 u + 105
8 u + 105 = 385
8 u = 385 - 105
8 u = 280
1 u = 280 ÷ 8 = 35
Total number of wafers sold on Monday
= 5 u + 105 + 5 u
= 10 u + 105
Total number of wafers sold on both days
= 8 u + 105 + 10 u + 105
= 18 u + 210
= 18 x 35 + 210
= 630 + 210
= 840
Total amount received from the sale of wafers on both days
= 840 x 1.80
= $1512
Answer(s): $1512
