Question

A bakery sells six cookies for every one cake. Yesterday the store
sold 154 cookies and cakes combined. How many cakes were sold?

Answer 1

Answer:

22 cakes were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this, add the cookies and cakes together (6+1=7) to get 7. Next, divide the cookies and cakes sold combined and divide that by the 7. 154/7=22. You sold 22 cakes and 132 cookies.

To check this answer multiply 6*22=132. Then multiply 22*1=22.

And add; 132+22=154.

Hope this helps!
