700 cookies = 1 bake yield
1 package = 24 cookies
$5 = 1 package

One package contains only a whole number of cookies, and Candy sells whole number of packages, unless some other condition is also given.

, a unit of dollars.

Take the whole number part for 700/24, unless you are allowed to assume Candy may sell a few cookies less than one package, separately --- or they could be given away free.
