Let a Cookie be represented by C

Let a Muffin be represented by M

Let a Scone be represented by S and,

Let the number of items be represented by n.

A dozen is 12 pieces,

The equation representing the total baked goods is,


\begin{gathered} \text{Total baked goods = C + M + S} \\ \text{Where, } \\ C=12\text{ dozen = 12}*12=144 \\ M=18\text{ dozen = 18}*12=216 \\ S=22\text{ dozen = 22}*12=264 \end{gathered}

The total baked goods everyday will be,


\text{Total baked goods = C + M + S =144 + 216 + 264 = }624\text{ baked goods}

Hence, total goods baked everyday is 264.
