Question

Giselle’s youth club sells cookies to fund their trips and activities. Each year they need to earn $1,247 from selling cookies. For each box of cookies they sell, they make $1.45. If Giselle’s club has already made $472.70 from selling cookies, how many more boxes do they need to sell to meet their goal?

Answer 1

Answer:

640 more boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

They need to make 1247
Each box costs 1.45
They have made 472.70
Meaning they have sold 326 boxes (472.70/1.45)

They need to sell 774.3 worth of boxes (1247 - 472.70)
They need to sell 534 more boxes to reach their goal (774.3/1.45)
