A daycare charges 125% of the regular daily tuition fee for children under five years of age, with the exception of children under 2, who incur a rate of twice the regular daily tuition fee. What amount did the daycare charge last week in total tuition fees?

(1) The regular daily tuition fee is $20.

(2) There was a total of 15 children attending the daycare each day last week, and there were no children who were under 2 years of age.
