Question

The girl scouts are planning to sell chocolate cookies at $10.50 and lollipops at $2.50 each. They were able to collect $350 in sales for both items, but they sold thrice as many lollipops compared to cookies. How many lollipops were sold?

Answer 1

Answer: 389

Step-by-step explanation: well if there is lollipops for $2.50 each and they sold thrice as many lollipops then they have sold 7.5 of the lollipops and if you sell thrice of the cookies then that will be 31.5 and if you add 7.5 and 31.5 that will be 39 so the real answer is 389.
