Question 777745: Candy bakes 700 cookies each. She sells them in packages of 24 cookies each. How much money does candy earn if she sells each package for $5?
Answer by josgarithmetic(39617) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
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.

700%2A%281%2F24%29%285%29 cookies%28packages%2Fcookies%29%28dollars%2Fpackage%29, 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.
