I have several of these questions I just need help with this one to do the rest.

How many weeks would it take to sale cookies in order to earn $5,0000. If for every 3 weeks profit is $500.

Is it 500/5000

nope

5000/500 * 3 = 30

or, keeping track of the units, you want to convert $$ to weeks:

$5000 * 3weeks/$500 = 30 weeks

Thank you

To find out how many weeks it would take to earn $5,000, given that the profit after every 3 weeks is $500, you would need to divide the total profit ($5,000) by the profit earned in every 3 weeks ($500).

Here's how to calculate it:

1. Divide the total profit ($5,000) by the profit earned in each cycle of 3 weeks ($500).
$5,000 / $500 = 10

Therefore, it would take 10 cycles of 3 weeks each to earn $5,000.

To convert this into the number of weeks, you would multiply the number of cycles by 3 (since each cycle is 3 weeks long):

10 cycles * 3 weeks per cycle = 30 weeks

So, it would take approximately 30 weeks to earn $5,000 by selling cookies, with a profit of $500 every 3 weeks.
