Siara is baking biscuits for a bake sale. Each batch makes 75 biscuits, and her friend gives her another 60 biscuits. She ends up with 360 biscuits total for the bake sale. Use algebra to solve for how many batches she made.(1 point)
Let's assume she made x batches of biscuits.
Each batch makes 75 biscuits, so she made a total of 75x biscuits.
Her friend gave her an additional 60 biscuits.
The total number of biscuits she had for the bake sale is 75x + 60.
Setting this equal to 360, we have:
75x + 60 = 360
Subtracting 60 from both sides, we get:
75x = 300
Dividing both sides by 75, we get:
x = 4
So, she made 4 batches of biscuits. Answer: \boxed{4}.
Let's assume the number of batches Siara made is 'x'.
The number of biscuits made per batch = 75.
So, the number of biscuits from 'x' batches = 75x.
Her friend gives her another 60 biscuits, so the total number of biscuits is 75x + 60.
According to the given information, Siara ends up with 360 biscuits in total. So,
75x + 60 = 360.
To solve for 'x', we can begin by isolating 75x on one side of the equation:
75x = 360 - 60,
75x = 300.
Now, to find the value of 'x', divide both sides of the equation by 75:
x = 300 / 75,
x = 4.
Therefore, Siara made 4 batches of biscuits for the bake sale.
Let's assume that Siara made x batches of biscuits.
Each batch makes 75 biscuits, so the total number of biscuits from the batches is 75x.
Her friend gives her another 60 biscuits, so the total number of biscuits is 75x + 60.
According to the problem, Siara ends up with a total of 360 biscuits, so we can set up the equation:
75x + 60 = 360
To solve for x, we can subtract 60 from both sides of the equation:
75x = 360 - 60
Simplifying, we get:
75x = 300
Now, we can divide both sides of the equation by 75 to solve for x:
x = 300 / 75
x = 4
Therefore, Siara made 4 batches of biscuits for the bake sale.
