Sarah is baking biscuits for a bake sale. Each batch makes 75 biscuits and her friend give her another 60 biscuits. She ends up with 360 biscuits total for the big sale use algebra Soffer how many batches she may.
Let's represent the number of batches Sarah made as "x".
Since each batch makes 75 biscuits, "x" batches will make a total of 75x biscuits.
Sarah's friend gave her an additional 60 biscuits, so the total number of biscuits Sarah has is 75x + 60.
According to the problem, this total is 360, so we can set up the equation:
75x + 60 = 360
Now, we can solve for "x":
75x = 360 - 60
75x = 300
x = 300/75
x = 4
Therefore, Sarah made 4 batches of biscuits.
To find out how many batches Sarah made, we can start by assigning variables to the relevant quantities. Let's use the letter "b" to represent the number of batches Sarah made.
In each batch, Sarah makes 75 biscuits. So the total number of biscuits from the batches alone would be 75b (75 multiplied by the number of batches).
Sarah's friend then gives her an additional 60 biscuits, which means the total number of biscuits she ends up with is 360.
We can now set up the equation and solve for "b":
75b + 60 = 360
To isolate "b", we need to get rid of the 60 by subtracting it from both sides:
75b = 360 - 60
75b = 300
Finally, to find the value of "b", we divide both sides by 75:
b = 300/75
b = 4
Therefore, Sarah made 4 batches of biscuits for the bake sale.
Let's assume that Sarah made "x" batches of biscuits.
Each batch makes 75 biscuits, so "x" batches would make a total of 75x biscuits.
Additionally, Sarah's friend gave her another 60 biscuits.
So, the total number of biscuits Sarah ended up with is 75x + 60.
We know that the total number of biscuits is 360.
Therefore, we can set up the equation: 75x + 60 = 360.
To find the value of "x," we can solve the equation.
Subtracting 60 from both sides: 75x = 360 - 60.
Simplifying: 75x = 300.
Dividing both sides by 75: x = 300 / 75.
Simplifying further: x = 4.
Therefore, Sarah made 4 batches of biscuits.
