Question

Money needed to raise $1000, sell a dozen of cookies for $3 a dozen. how many dozen of cookies need to be sold to raise $1000?

Answer 1

334 dozen cookies.

Explanation:

1000=3x

Let x = dozen of cookies sold

3x=1000

x=1000/3

x=333.33

Since 333.33 isn't a whole number, we need to round it up to 334 since rounding it down to 333 won't raise 1000 dollars.
