Assume data in row 2, A2:K2.

Total Sales:

=SUMPRODUCT(--LEFT(A2:K2,LEN(A2:K2)-2))

If strings cc,ca,ch are in cells L1:N1 then you can calculate their
respective subtotals with the following formula:

=SUMPRODUCT(LEFT($A2:$K2,LEN($A2:$K2)-2)*(RIGHT($A2:$K2,2)=L$1))

This formula can be copied to the right and down to produce the
subtotals for each day.

My data is in the format of 55.45cc *34.00ca *23.21 ch ...... where the

10cc *5ca 20cc *5cc *10ca 5ca

In the above, the cc total should be $30 (i.e. 10cc + 20cc) and the ca total
should be $20 (i.e. 5ca + 10 ca + 5ca).
