Answer 1

Answer:

A = (0.25)(0.8)(x + 1.25x)  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of cookies Matt made

Let 1.25x = number of cookies Phil made  {Phil made 25% more cookies than Matt}

A = total money earned

A = (0.25)(0.8)(x + 1.25x)  

They sold 80% of the combined cookies made at $0.25 each.
