Question

Signed up to bake 100 cookies for a bake sale. I've already made 52 cookies, and I can bake 8 cookies per

batch. How many more batches do I need to bake until I'm ready for the bake sale?

Answer 1

To determine the number of batches needed to bake the remaining cookies, subtract the number of cookies already made from the total number of cookies required. Then, divide this difference by the number of cookies baked per batch to find the number of batches needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number of batches that need to be baked, we need to find the difference between the total number of cookies required and the number of cookies already made. The student needs to bake a total of 100 cookies and has already made 52 cookies. Therefore, the number of cookies yet to be made is 100 - 52 = 48.

Since the student can bake 8 cookies per batch, we can divide the number of cookies yet to be made by the number of cookies per batch to find the number of batches needed. Thus, the student needs to bake 48 / 8 = 6 more batches.

Answer 2

You need 6 more batches



Step-by-step explanation:


You would create an equation

100=8x+52

Because if he already made 52 you need to figure out how many more batches of 8 he needs to reach 100
You solve

100=8x+52
Subtract 52 from both sides
48=8x
Divide 8 by both sides
6=x
