The actual total sales are 240,000 and the budget total sales were 220,000. For the quantity variance we compare the actual total sales at standard mix (X: 5/8 and Y:3/8), with the budget sales. The question makes it clear that they are using marginal costing (even though you have not typed this bit) and so in both cases we cost out at the standard contribution per unit.
