You spend $28 on ingredients to make cookies. you charge $4 per container of cookies. how many containers do you need to sell to earn $20 in profit?
12 containers.
Explanation:
To get $20 in profit you need to make $48. Because each container is sold for $4, you need to make 12 containers.
($48 profit= 12*4)
Answer:
\(12\ containers\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x-----> the number of containers
we know that
\(4x-28=20\) ------> equation that represent the situation
Solve for x
Adds \(28\) both sides
\(4x-28+28=20+28\)
\(4x=48\)
Divide bytex]4[/tex] both sides
\(4x/4=48/4\)
\(x=12\ containers\)
