14Total number of puffs sold on Wednesday
= 4 u + 90 + 3 u
= 7 u + 90
7 u + 90 = 314
7 u = 314 - 90
7 u = 224
1 u = 224 ÷ 7 = 32
Total number of puffs sold on Tuesday
= 4 u + 90 + 4 u
= 8 u + 90
Total number of puffs sold on both days
= 7 u + 90 + 8 u + 90
= 15 u + 180
= 15 x 32 + 180
= 480 + 180
= 660
Total amount received from the sale of puffs on both days
= 660 x 3.60
= $2376
Answer(s): $2376
