Question

Kay's Dessert Shop bakes cookies. The ratio of chocolate chip to sugar cookies baked is always 5 to 2. If she bakes 210 cookies in one day, how many were sugar cookies? 50 points

Answer 1

Answer: 60

Explanation:

Given

The ratio of chocolate chip to sugar cookies is 5:2

If she bakes 210 cookies in one day

Suppose she baked x amount of chocolate chips on that day

So, we can write

`\Rightarrow x=(2)/(5+2)* 210\\\\\Rightarrow x=(2)/(7)* 210=60`

There were 60 sugar cookies on that day
