Sally sells cookies at cost of 3 for a $1.00 and mini cakes for $5.00 each.
Sally wants to sell 5 baskets that include all two products for $15.00.
How many cakes and cookies does Sally need to make for her baskets?
:
How about each basket contains 2 cakes and 15 cookies
Cost for this:
2 cakes + 15 cookies
2($5) + ($5) = $15
:
Five baskets;
5(2) = 10 cakes
5(15) = 75 cookies
