Please correct all typos so I can understand your problem.
The winner of the fundraiser based and sold 450 muffins every 15 days.
To solve this problem, we can set up a system of equations based on the given information. Let's denote the number of muffins sold as 'm', the number of brownies sold as 'b', and the number of jumbo cookies sold as 'c'.
From the given information:
1) The cost of one item was 2 bucks.
2) Three times as many brownies were sold as muffins: b = 3m.
3) Five times as many cookies were sold as muffins: c = 5m.
4) The total amount collected was $450.
Since the cost of one item is $2, we can express the total amount collected equation as follows:
2(m + b + c) = 450.
Now, let's substitute the values of 'b' and 'c' from equations 2) and 3) into equation 4):
2(m + 3m + 5m) = 450.
2(9m) = 450.
18m = 450.
m = 25.
Now that we know m = 25, we can find the values of 'b' and 'c':
b = 3m = 3(25) = 75.
c = 5m = 5(25) = 125.
Therefore, 25 muffins, 75 brownies, and 125 jumbo cookies were sold at the bake sale.
