B. 41.95
C. 69.00
D. 110.40

Answer 1

To find the charitable contribution from yesterday's sales of Krazy Kookies at Keris Kookies, we calculate three-eights of the total cookies sold, determine the revenue from Krazy Kookies, and then find 5% of that revenue. This results in a total of $41.40 going to charity.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how much of yesterday's sales from Keris Kookies go to charity, we need to determine the number of Krazy Kookies sold and the total revenue they generated. First, we find three-eights of the total 368 cookies sold, which are Krazy Kookies. Then, we multiply the number of Krazy Kookies by the price per cookie ($6) to determine the revenue from Krazy Kookies. Finally, we take 5% of that revenue to find out the charitable contribution.

First, let's find the number of Krazy Kookies sold:

• 3/8 of 368 cookies = 138 Krazy Kookies (since 368 * 3/8 = 138)

Next, we calculate the total revenue from Krazy Kookies:

• Total revenue = 138 Krazy Kookies * $6/cookie = $828

Finally, we determine how much goes to charity from the Krazy Kookie sales:

• Charity contribution = 5% of $828 = $41.40

Therefore, the answer is A. $41.40.
