On July Luny sold 162 more vanilla chocolate cookies than strawberry cookies. The total number of cookies sold were 424. Which equation could be used to solve for n, the number of strawberry cookies that were sold?
Let's use "n" as the number of strawberry cookies sold.
According to the problem, Luny sold 162 more vanilla chocolate cookies than strawberry cookies. This means the number of vanilla chocolate cookies sold was:
n + 162
And we know that the total number of cookies sold was 424. So the equation would be:
n + (n + 162) = 424
Simplifying this equation:
2n + 162 = 424
Now we can solve for "n":
2n = 262
n = 131
Therefore, Luny sold 131 strawberry cookies.
Let's assign the variable n to represent the number of strawberry cookies that were sold.
Since "Luny sold 162 more vanilla chocolate cookies than strawberry cookies," we can express the number of vanilla chocolate cookies as n + 162.
Given that "the total number of cookies sold were 424," we can write the equation:
n + (n + 162) = 424
This equation can be used to solve for n, the number of strawberry cookies that were sold.
