34Total number of biscuits sold on Friday
= 4 u + 47 + 1 u
= 5 u + 47
5 u + 47 = 207
5 u = 207 - 47
5 u = 160
1 u = 160 ÷ 5 = 32
Total number of biscuits sold on Thursday
= 4 u + 47 + 4 u
= 8 u + 47
Total number of biscuits sold on both days
= 5 u + 47 + 8 u + 47
= 13 u + 94
= 13 x 32 + 94
= 416 + 94
= 510
Total amount received from the sale of biscuits on both days
= 510 x 1.30
= $663
Answer(s): $663
