Question

A school bake sale earned over $25 from selling cookies, which cost $3 each. How many cookies did they sell? Identify the number(s) that are included in the solution set.

Answer 1

since they made $25 and each cost 3 divide, 25÷3=8 they sold 8 cookies

to find the number of cookies sold, total amount divided by 1 cookie

25÷3=8 1/3 cookies
thus, you take the minimum number of cookies
