Question

Desiree made 100 cookies this week. She baked 3 more than 4 times the total she made last week. How many cookies did she bake last week?

Answer 1

24.25 cookies

Explanation:

Amount of cookis she made last week = x

100 = 4x + 3

Subtract 3 from both sides:

97 = 4x

Divid by 4 to isolate x:

24.25 = x
