Question

WRITE AN EQUATION TO REPRESENT YOUR ANSWER.

FORMAT: variable term + constant = total

Ginny is making cookies for a bake sale. The recipe she is using makes 24 cookies in a batch. Ginny took 198 cookies to the bake sale after 18 burned. How many batches of cookies did she make?

Answer 1

To find the number of batches of cookies Ginny made, set up the equation 24x - 18 = 198, solve for x, and find that Ginny made 9 batches of cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of batches of cookies Ginny made, we can set up an equation using the information given. Let x represent the number of batches. The total number of cookies she took to the bake sale is 198, after 18 burned. Each batch makes 24 cookies.

Equation: 24x - 18 = 198

Add 18 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable:

24x = 216

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 24 to solve for x:

x = 9

Therefore, Ginny made 9 batches of cookies.

Answer 2

Explanation:
Let's say b is the batches. Since 24 is a batch of cookies we can multiply it's by the how much batches or b. Which is 24b.
We subtract by 18 since 18 of the cookies burned. So it's 24b-18.
The total is 198 since shebring them to the baking show the rest except the 18 cookies

Equation: 24b-18= 198

If need to solve:
24b-18= 198
+18. +18
24b = 216
÷24. ÷24
b = 9
Answer: 9 batches
