Answer 1

11

Explanation:

To be able solve, you need to do 17 x 3.25, which would give you 55.25. Then you need to subtract 72.85 by 55.25, which is 17.60. Now divide 17.60 by 1.60. This should give you 11. Therefore, she sold 11 cookies.

I AM SO SORRY IF THIS DIDN'T MAKE SENSE!

Answer 2

Answer: 11 Cookies

Explanation:

let C be cookies

17($3.25) + 1.60C = $72.85

$55.25 + 1.60C = $72.85

1.60C = $17.60

C=11

She sells 11 cookies
