14Total number of scones sold on Saturday
= 4 u + 90 + 3 u
= 7 u + 90
7 u + 90 = 160
7 u = 160 - 90
7 u = 70
1 u = 70 ÷ 7 = 10
Total number of scones sold on Friday
= 4 u + 90 + 4 u
= 8 u + 90
Total number of scones sold on both days
= 7 u + 90 + 8 u + 90
= 15 u + 180
= 15 x 10 + 180
= 150 + 180
= 330
Total amount received from the sale of scones on both days
= 330 x 2.50
= $825
Answer(s): $825
