Question

Write the equation.

Chucky spent $23.24 on supplies to make cookies for his booth at the show. He made a profit of $24.76. Each cookie was $1, how many cookies did he sell?
c - 23.24 = 24.76
c + 23.24 = 24.76
c - 24.76 = 23.24
c + 24.76 = 23.24

Chucky spent $23.24 on supplies to make cookies for his booth at the show. He made a profit of $24.76. Each cookie was $1, how many cookies did he sell?
5 cookies
1.5 cookies
50 cookies
48 cookies

Answer 1

just do this 24.76min. 23.24 then see what u have got for

Answer 2

c - 23.24 = 24.76 (the first option)

48 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit is equal to revenue(amount made) minus costs, or r - cost = p. The revenue is 1*cookies sold, or c. So, c - 23.24 = 24.76.

Solving is relatively simple,

c - 23.24 = 24.76

c = 48 (add 23.34 to both sides)
