Question

They're just hired a new employee to work in your bike shop in one hour the employee burns 55 chocolate chip cookies if this represented 22% of the days production how many cookies did you plan on producing that day

Answer 1

250 cookies

Explanation:

The employee burns 55 chocolate chip cookies

if this represented 22% of the days production

Let x = the total production of cookies for the day

how many cookies did you plan on producing that day?

22% of x = 55

22 / 100 * x = 55

0.22x = 55

Divide both sides by 0.22

x = 55 / 0.22

= 250

x = 250 cookies

Therefore, the total production of cookies for the day is 250
