Tyler bake 702 cookies he sold them in boxes of 18 after selling all of the boxes of cookies for the same amount each he earned $136.50 what was the cost of one box of cookies

Answer 1

If he had baked 18 cookies and 18 fit in a box, then how many boxes would he have? Obviously 1. How about if he baked 36 cookies and 18 fit in a box, how many boxes of cookies would that be? 2, right? So, to figure out how many boxes you get, you take the number of cookies and divide by 18 (because 18 go in 1 box).

So 702/18 = 39 boxes.

Since he earned $136.50 for selling 39 boxes of cookies, each box would have sold for $136.50 divided by 39.

So, $136.50/39 = $3.50

Each box of cookies was sold for $3.50

Answer 2

Hi there! I'd love to help you out with this...

First off, we need to figure out how many boxes he had altogether. To do this, we will divide the total number of cookies by the number of cookies in each box:

702 / 18 = 39 boxes

So in all he sold 39 boxes. Now to find the unit price, we divide the total amount earned by the number of boxes sold:

136.50 / 39 = $3.50

So, each box sold for $3.50. I hope this explanation was thorough and answered all of your questions. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have additional questions. Learn on! :)

Answer 3

702 cookies / 18 cookies per box = 39 boxes

$136.50 / 39 boxes = $3.50

Answer 4

This problem asks you to find the unit value of a box of cookies. It gives the sale price as $136.50 per 18 boxes. Also, you need to do dimensional analysis using the multiplicative identity (that is, 1) because any value does not change when multiplied by 1 (but the dimensions may change).

Here:

1 = (18 cookies) / (1 box) = (1 box) / (18 cookies) [note: use the one that cancels units]

$136.50 / (702 cookies)

($136.50 / (702 cookies) ) * ((18 cookies) / (1 box)) [note: cookies cancels leaving $ per box ]

(136.50 / 702 ) * 18 dollars per box

$3.50 / box
