35Total number of biscuits sold on Thursday
= 5 u + 103 + 2 u
= 7 u + 103
7 u + 103 = 292
7 u = 292 - 103
7 u = 189
1 u = 189 ÷ 7 = 27
Total number of biscuits sold on Wednesday
= 5 u + 103 + 5 u
= 10 u + 103
Total number of biscuits sold on both days
= 7 u + 103 + 10 u + 103
= 17 u + 206
= 17 x 27 + 206
= 459 + 206
= 665
Total amount received from the sale of biscuits on both days
= 665 x 2.60
= $1729
Answer(s): $1729
