Answer:
6.67lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
let's write cookies as C.
we know dozen means 12 so we multiply 5 by 12 to know how many cookies that the bakery uses 2lbs of butter for.
That would be; 2lbs= 5×12 C
2lbs=60C.
now we can find how much butter is used for a single cookie(C) by dividing both sides by 60;
lbs=C;
C= lbs
since we know what C is, we can use that in finding how much butter will be needed for 200 cookies(C)
200C=200(lbs)
200C= lbs
200C= 6lbs or 6.67lbs
