To solve this problem, we need to calculate the total number of people attending the Coast Trip and then determine the number of dozen cookies required.
Step 1: Calculate the total number of people attending the Coast Trip.
The total number of students = 52
The total number of parents and teachers = 25
Total number of people attending = 52 + 25 = 77
Step 2: Calculate the total number of cookies required for 2 nights.
Since we need to buy 2 cookies for each person, the total number of cookies required for one night is 77 x 2 = 154 cookies.
Since this needs to cover 2 nights, the total number of cookies required is 154 x 2 = 308 cookies.
Step 3: Calculate the number of dozens of cookies required.
Since there are 12 cookies in a dozen, we divide the total number of cookies by 12 to determine the number of dozens needed.
308 cookies รท 12 = 25.67 dozens
Since we can't purchase a fraction of a dozen, we need to round up to the next whole number.
Therefore, we will need to buy 26 dozen cookies for the Coast Trip.
Answer: We need to buy 26 dozen cookies for the Coast Trip.
