Question

A baker makes 12 dozencookies, 18 dozen muffins, and22 dozen scones every day.How many baked goods doesshe make in all every day?

Answer 1

Let a Cookie be represented by C

Let a Muffin be represented by M

Let a Scone be represented by S and,

Let the number of items be represented by n.

A dozen is 12 pieces,

The equation representing the total baked goods is,

$\begin{gathered} \text{Total baked goods = C + M + S} \\ \text{Where, } \\ C=12\text{ dozen = 12}\times12=144 \\ M=18\text{ dozen = 18}\times12=216 \\ S=22\text{ dozen = 22}\times12=264 \end{gathered}$

The total baked goods everyday will be,

$\text{Total baked goods = C + M + S =144 + 216 + 264 = }624\text{ baked goods}$

Hence, total goods baked everyday is 264.
