Question

Jordan had a bake sale. Muffins cost $3 each and cookies cost $2 each. Jordan earned $24.

(Select all)

- 0 muffins and 8 cookies

- 9 muffins and 2 cookies

- 2 muffins and 9 cookies

- 6 muffins and 4 cookies

- 4 muffins and 6 cookies

Answer 1

0 muffins and 8 cookies

6 muffins and 4 cookies

Explain:

These are the only two combinations of muffins and cookies that Jordan could have sold to earn $24. If Jordan sold 0 muffins and 8 cookies, they would have earned $24 because 0 x $3 + 8 x $2 = $24. If Jordan sold 6 muffins and 4 cookies, they would have earned $24 because 6 x $3 + 4 x $2 = $24.
