25Total number of macarons sold on Thursday
= 5 u + 135 + 3 u
= 8 u + 135
8 u + 135 = 335
8 u = 335 - 135
8 u = 200
1 u = 200 ÷ 8 = 25
Total number of macarons sold on Wednesday
= 5 u + 135 + 5 u
= 10 u + 135
Total number of macarons sold on both days
= 8 u + 135 + 10 u + 135
= 18 u + 270
= 18 x 25 + 270
= 450 + 270
= 720
Total amount received from the sale of macarons on both days
= 720 x 5.40
= $3888
Answer(s): $3888
