Answer 1

97.50 dollars

Explanation:

First add together all the brownies, then add together all the cookies.

123 brownies + 89 brownies = 212 brownies

56 cookies + 33 cookies = 89 cookies

Multiply the total amount of each bake sale treat to find the money made from each treat.

212 brownies at .25 cents each = 212 x .25

212 x .25 = 53

From brownies, girls made 53 dollars.

89 cookies at .50 cents each = 89 x .50

89 x .50 = 44.5

From cookies, girls made 44.5 dollars.

Next add how much money they made from each treat together to find the total amount of money earned

44.5 dollars

53.0 dollars

+ __________

97.5 dollars
