Answer:

more than 150 cookies

Explanation:

Let the number of cookies = x.

Since they sell each cookie at 10 cents. each cookie sells for $0.10.

x number of cookies sell for 0.1x.

To turn a profit, the amount of sales must be greater than the cost.

0.1x > 15

x > 15/0.1

x > 150

Answer: They must sell more than 150 cookies
