Question 255153: Please help me solve this:
3. You are baking chocolate chip cookies and oatmeal raisin cookies. You bake 14 chocolate chip cookies in each of 3 baking sheets and 12 oatmeal raisin cookies in each of 4 baking sheets. You also bake 5 oatmeal raisin cookies and 8 chocolate chip cookies in one baking sheet.
a. Suppose you sell your chocolate chip cookies for $0.69 each and your oatmeal raisin cookies for $0.79 each. Write an expression that represents the total revenue (amount of money you can make) selling all the cookies baked. Use r for the number of oatmeal raisin cookies and c for the number of chocolate chip cookies.
b. How much revenue would you make if you sold all the cookies baked? (Show all your work.)
c. If you made $414.75 selling oatmeal raisin cookies one day, how many oatmeal raisin cookies did you sell?

Let's get something straight at the beginning. Since you said I was baking the cookies. They will be the best cookies you have ever tasted if you are lucky enough to be invited over for any.
Secondly, there is not a chance in hell that I would sell all of them. Why? Isn't it obvious? I would eat at least half. I am especially partial to my oatmeal cookies. So back off, boogaloo!
Now to the problem at hand.
r= oatmeal raisin
c=chocolate chip
14*3 c +8 .69
12*4 r +5 .79
questions a and b ((14*3)+8)*.69+ ((12*4)+5)*.79=money earned =76.37
50 c
53 r
question c 414.75/.79=525r sold
