Question

For a bake sale, Jeremy is selling cookies for $3.00 a dozen (25 cents for each single cookie). If Jeremy makes $25.75 during the bake sale, how many cookies did he sell?

Answer 1

3 D + .25 S = 25.75
He sold 103 cookies, which could have occurred in many ways.
8 dozen and 7 singles
7 dozen and 19 singles
6 dozen and 31 singles
5 dozen and 43 singles
and so on

Answer 2

103 cookies were sold.

Explanation:

Let x be the cookies were made during the bake sale,

Given,

The cost of each cookie = 25 cent = $ 0.25,

So, the cost of x cookies = 0.25x dollars,

According to the question,

`0.25x = 25.75`

`\implies x = 103`

Hence, 103 cookies were sold.
