Answer:

$100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • Wednesday sales = $350

If the amount collected from sales on Wednesday was $75 greater than the amount collected from sales on Tuesday, then Tuesday's sales were $75 less than Wednesday's sales:

  • Tuesday sales = $350 - $75 = $275

If the amount collected from sales on Wednesday was two times as great as the amount collected from sales on Monday, then Monday's sales were half Wednesday's sales:

  • Monday sales = $350 ÷ 2 = $175

To calculate how much more the farmstand collected from sales on Tuesday than it collected on Monday, subtract the Monday sales from the Tuesday sales:

  • $275 - $175 = $100
MisterBrainly

Tuesday sales and Monday sales be T and M respectively

Wednesday sales be W

So as per question

  • T+75=W
  • T=W-75
  • T=350-75
  • T=$275

And

  • 2M=W
  • M=W/2
  • M=350/2
  • M=$175

Difference

  • T-M=275-175=$100
