Answer 1

Answer:

334

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

○=> Correct option :

$\color{plum}\tt\bold{(a) \: 250}$

○=> Steps to derive correct answer :

Money Jefferson needs to collect = $500

Selling price of each baked good = $2

Cost price of each baked good = 0.50

Number of baked goods Jefferson need to sell to meet his goal :

$=\tt \frac{500}{2} \times 0.50$

$=\tt 250 \times 0.50$

$\color{plum} =\tt 125 \: baked \: goods$

Thus, Jefferson needs to sell 125 baked goods.

▪︎Therefore, the correct option is (a) 125.
