Answer 1

The cost of one box of cookies was $3.5

• Tyler baked 702 cookies
• He sold the cookies in boxes of 18

We are to find the cost of one box.

Further Explanation

Before we can be able to determine the cost of one box, firstly we have to find the number of boxes of cookies. We can derive the value by dividing the number of boxes of cookies by 18

Therefore, you have:

= $\frac{702}{18}$

= 39

Recall that after selling all the boxes of cookies for the same amount each, he earned 136.50, therefore to determine the cost of a box, we have to divide the amount he earned by the number of boxes of cookies.

Hence,

= $\frac{136.50}{39}$

= 3.5

Thus, the cost of a box of cookies is $3.5

Cookies, boxes, sale, profit, unit cost

For this case we have to bake an amount of 702 cookies, which were distributed in boxes of 18 for sale. Selling each box at the same price earned a profit of 136.50 dollars, you want to know the unit cost of each box of cookies.

Let $"x"$be the number of boxes of cookies:

So, to know the number of boxes we divide 702 cookies among 18:

$x = \frac {702} {18}\\x = 39$

So, we have Tyler sold 39 boxes of cookies

Now, let $"y"$ be the cost of each box of cookies, to know the unit cost or sale price of the cookie boxes, we divided 136.50 dollars among 39 boxes of cookies, then:

$y = \frac {136.50} {39}\\y = 3.5$

Thus, the cost of each box was 3.5 dollars.

Answer:

The cost of a box is 3.5 dollars
