110Total number of cookies sold on Friday
= 10 u + 73 + 9 u
= 19 u + 73
19 u + 73 = 662
19 u = 662 - 73
19 u = 589
1 u = 589 ÷ 19 = 31
Total number of cookies sold on Thursday
= 10 u + 73 + 10 u
= 20 u + 73
Total number of cookies sold on both days
= 19 u + 73 + 20 u + 73
= 39 u + 146
= 39 x 31 + 146
= 1209 + 146
= 1355
Total amount received from the sale of cookies on both days
= 1355 x 1.40
= $1897
Answer(s): $1897
