Each morning, the baker gets up early to bake products for the shop to sell
throughout the day. He likes to have 36 boxes of each item available in the shop.
How much of each item will he need to bake? (Remember to use equations with a
letter standing for the unknown quantity, and show all the steps you take to solve
the problem.) Cookies come 8 in a package.
Do I just multiply 36X8=288 to find my answer?
yes
number of boxes * number of cookies/box
Thanks!
To determine how many packages of cookies the baker will need to bake, we can follow these steps:
1. Let's assume the unknown quantity of packages of cookies the baker needs to bake is represented by the letter "x".
2. Since the baker wants to have 36 boxes of cookies available in the shop, and each box contains 8 cookies, the total number of cookies he needs to bake is 36 boxes * 8 cookies per box = 288 cookies.
3. Since each package of cookies contains 8 cookies, the total number of packages of cookies the baker needs to bake is 288 cookies / 8 cookies per package = 36 packages.
Therefore, the baker will need to bake 36 packages of cookies.
