Answer:
4 cookies
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of cookies he sold be c and that of brownies be b.
Assuming that brownies and cookies are the only type of baked goods sold,
b +c= 10 -----(1)
Amount of money received= $20
b(cost of brownie) +c(cost of cookie)= $20
2.50b +1.25c= 20 -----(2)
From (1): b= 10 -c -----(3)
Substitute (3) into (2):
2.50(10 -c) +1.25c= 20
Expand:
2.50(10) +2.50(-c) +1.25c= 20
25 -2.50c +1.25c= 20
-1.25c +25= 20
Being constants to 1 side:
-1.25c= 20 -25
-1.25c= -5
c= -5 ÷(-1.25)
c= 4
Thus, Joe sold 4 cookies.
5x + 3 = 38
5x = 38 + 3
5x = 35
x = 35/5
x = 7
65/3=21 with 2 leftover
(2/3)/3 or 2/3•1/3 = 2/9
so either they didn’t get to share or each got 2/9 of the leftovers
