Emily hired a new employee to work in your bake shop. In one hour the employe burned 660 chocolate chip cookies. If this presented 13% of the days production, how many cookies did you plan on producing that day
.13x = 660
x = 660/.13 = appr 5077
0.13x = 660
To find out how many cookies you planned on producing that day, we can set up a proportion using the information given.
Let "x" be the total number of cookies you planned on producing that day.
According to the information, the employee burned 660 cookies, which represents 13% of the day's production.
So, we can set up the proportion:
660 / x = 13 / 100
To solve for "x," we can cross-multiply and then solve for "x."
660 * 100 = 13 * x
66,000 = 13x
Dividing both sides of the equation by 13:
66,000 / 13 = x
So, the number of cookies you planned on producing that day is 5,076.
Therefore, you planned on producing 5,076 cookies that day.
