Question

Help it’s really not something i want to solve rn

Answer 1

Answer:

1) $1440

2) 360 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram 25% of the money collected from hat corresponds to $480.

Let x represent the total money the student council earn.

Then

$0.25x = 480$

Divide both sides by 0.25

$x = \frac{480}{0.25} = 1920$

To find the amount the students got from T-shirts, we subtract 480 from 1920 to get;

$1920 - 480 = 1440$

2) Students council needs to raise $180

Cost of each cookie is 0.5

Let the number be cookies they need to sell to get $180 be y. Then,

$0.5y = 180$

$y = \frac{180}{0.5} = 360$

Hence the student council must sell 360 cookies.
