Question

The new pastry chef at Jackson's Bakery specializes in sheet cakes for parties. She sold 17 small, 11 medium, and 20 large sheet cakes in one week. How much money did Jackson's Bakery make in one week from sheet cakes?

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore the total amount that Jackson's Bakery made in one week from sheet cakes is: = $2,238

Step-by-step explanation:

Step One:

To arrive at the total amount made from the sheet cakes, we have to assign the prices of each type of cake. They are:

1. Small Sheet Cake - $36
2. Medium Sheet Cake - $46
3. Large Sheet Cake - $56

Step Two:

If the new pastry sold 17 small, 11 medium and 20 large sheet cakes respectively, the total money made comes to the following:

= (36 x 17) + (11 x 46) + (56 x 20)

= 612 +  506 + 1120

Therefore the total amount that Jackson's Bakery made in one week from sheet cakes is:

= $2,238
