Answer:
I think the answer is y = 21
Answer:
<em>At least 18 chocolates sold to collect $225</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>~ Let's say x ⇒ the number of chocolates, y ⇒ the number of cookies ~</em>
1. We can see that the number of chocolates/ cookies * the cost of chocolates/cookies = the total cost of chocolates/cookies. Provided this, it would be that 3x and 2.5y would represent the cost of chocolates and cookies.
2. It is given that there was $225 sold from chocolates and cookies, so we can say that 3x + 2.5y = 225 from this assumption.
3. That being said it is also known that the cookies were sold to 60 people, so we can assume that 60 cookies were sold out, 1 were person. With this information we can see that 3x ⇒ 3 * 60 = <em>180 ⇒ cost of cookies sold</em>
4. Now we can substitute this value of 3x into the equation 3x + 2.5y = 225, as such: 3x + 2.5y = 225 ⇒ 180 + 2.5y = 225, <em>and now we can solve for y ~</em>
180 + 2.5y = 225,
2.5y = 225 - 180,
2.5y = 45,
y = 45/2.5,
y = <em>At least 18 chocolates sold to collect $225</em>
A quadrilatetal with two different pairs of equal and parallel sides.
2% of 160000
(2/100) * 160000
3200
Total amount
160000 + 3200
163200
