Answer:

7 cookies are left out, If Amanda packs 11 boxes of cookies.

Explanation:

Amanda has to pack cookies in boxes. The function describes how many cookies she puts in a certain number of boxes:


c=-6b+ 73

here variable c represents number of cookies and variable b represents the number of boxes packed.

We need to find If she packs 11 boxes, how many cookies are left out.

We are given:

b = 11

We need to find c

Putting value of b and finding value of c in the equation.


c=-6b+ 73\\c=-6(11)+73\\c=-66+73\\c=7

So, we get the value of c: c=7

Therefore, 7 cookies are left out, If Amanda packs 11 boxes of cookies.
