Answer: 180 cookies


Step-by-step explanation: If 1.75 cups of flour is required to make a batch and the bakery used 5.25, the bakery made 3 batches, since 1.75(3) is 5.25. One dozen is 12 cookies, and there are 5 dozen cookies in each batch. If there are 3 batches, then there are 15 dozens of cookies. 15(12) is 180.
