1a. What would it cost for ingredients , per cookie, to make 100 cookies?
C=100/4x-28 is the equation given to find the cost.
How about
C = 100(4*100) - 28
Frankly, it looks wrong, since C<0
When x=1, C = -3, and it keeps getting more and more negative as x increases.
Typo somewhere?
The cost is equal to 100 over 4x minus 28.
still C < 0
To find the cost for ingredients per cookie to make 100 cookies, we can use the equation C = 100/4x - 28.
Let's break down the equation:
1. C represents the cost for ingredients per cookie.
2. 100 is the total number of cookies we want to make.
3. 4x is the total cost for ingredients to make 100 cookies. It is multiplied by 4x because we are finding the cost per cookie, so we need to divide the total cost by the number of cookies.
4. -28 is a constant in the equation, which might represent any additional costs or discounts in the ingredients.
However, without knowing the value of x in the equation, it is impossible to calculate the cost for ingredients per cookie. x might represent the cost of a specific ingredient, such as flour or sugar, and without this value, the equation is incomplete.
To find the cost for ingredients per cookie, you would either need the complete equation or the specific cost value of x.
