	Cranberry scones	Apricot scones	Total
Comparing cranberry and apricot scones  at first	87 more
Before	10 u + 87	10 u	20 u + 87
Change		- 7 u
After	10 u + 87	3 u	13 u + 87

70% = ⁷⁰₁₀₀ = ⁷₁₀

Total number of scones sold on Wednesday
= 10 u + 87 + 3 u
= 13 u + 87

13 u + 87 = 568
13 u = 568 - 87
13 u = 481 

1 u = 481 ÷ 13 = 37

Total number of scones sold on Tuesday
= 10 u + 87 + 10 u
= 20 u + 87

Total number of scones sold on both days
= 13 u + 87 + 20 u + 87
= 33 u + 174
= 33 x 37 + 174
= 1221 + 174
= 1395

Total amount received from the sale of scones on both days
= 1395 x 1.40
= $1953

Answer(s): $1953
