How many full boxes did the bakery use for the muffins they plan to sell on Saturday? Show your work. (b) On Monday, the bakery made 2820 cookies. How many full bags did the bakery use for the cookies they plan to sell on Monday? Show your work. (c) Look at your work from Part (a) and (b). What do the remainders represent in each problem?

Answer :

Kaufmanngo
a) if 18 muffins = 1 box,
1020 muffins = 1020/18 boxes
= 56.67 boxes

So they used 56 full boxes.

b) if 25 cookies = 1 bag
2820 cookies = 2820/25 bags
= 112.8 bags

So they used 112 full bags.

c) the remainders from a and b represent muffins and cookies left over.
