Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount of cookies = 4250
butter cookies, b
Almond cookies, a
Chocolate cookies, c
It made 715 more butter cookies than
almond cookies
b = a + 715
It made 5 times as many chocolate cookies as almond
5a = c
Total amount of cookies
= a + b + c
= a + (a+715) + (5a)
= 7a + 715
7a + 715 = 4250
7a = 4250-715
a = 3535 / 7
a = 505
c = 5a
= 5 (505)
= 2525
The factory make 2525 chocolate cookies.
Answer:
a. $5.43
b. $141.25
c. $8.75
Step-by-step explanation:
First you find the total amount you it cost for all the items
$135.82 + 4% = $141.25
You give three $50 dollar bills
50 * 3 = 150
$150 is the amount you give
--------------------------------------
141.25 - 135.82 = 5.43
$5.43 is the amount of the sale price
---------------------------------------
To find the amount is cost for all the items you add the sales tax + the original price
$135.82 + 4% = $141.25
$141.25 is the amount including the tax
---------------------------------------
Subtract
150 - 141.25 = 8.75
So you will get $8.75 back
The statement is "8 less than the product of 6 and a number, x." "Less than" indicates subtraction - you will subtract 8 from a number. That number is "the product of 6 and a number, x." "The product" of these numbers will result with multiplication - you are multiplying 6 and x.
All this gives you the expression: 6x - 8.
