14Total number of muffins sold on Thursday
= 4 u + 130 + 3 u
= 7 u + 130
7 u + 130 = 242
7 u = 242 - 130
7 u = 112
1 u = 112 ÷ 7 = 16
Total number of muffins sold on Wednesday
= 4 u + 130 + 4 u
= 8 u + 130
Total number of muffins sold on both days
= 7 u + 130 + 8 u + 130
= 15 u + 260
= 15 x 16 + 260
= 240 + 260
= 500
Total amount received from the sale of muffins on both days
= 500 x 3.90
= $1950
Answer(s): $1950
