Yesterday a store earned $797.30 just from the sale of cookies. Write and solve an equation that represents how many cookies were sold.
c= $797.30/$1.19
c=670 cookies were sold
That depends upon the price of each cookie.
price of a cookie*number of cookies = $797.30.
There are two unknowns here and the equation, as is, can't be solved.
To solve this problem, we can use the formula:
Number of cookies sold = Amount earned / Price per cookie
Now let's plug in the given values:
Amount earned = $797.30
Price per cookie = $1.19
Number of cookies sold = $797.30 / $1.19
Dividing $797.30 by $1.19 gives us 670.58.
Since we can't have a fraction of a cookie, we can round down to the nearest whole number. So, 670 cookies were sold.
