You and your sister are selling cookies to help raise money for your field trip. You start out with $24 and sells each bag of cookies, c, for $3. Your sister doesn’t start out with any money but sells her bags of cookies for $5 each. How many bags of cookies must they sell in order for them to raise the same amount of money?

12 bags of cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you already start out with $24, you will have a y-intercept of 24. Your slope will be 3, since each bag sells for $3.

Your equation will be y = 3c + 24.

Your sister does not start out with money, so she will have a y-intercept of 0. Her slope will be 5, as each bag sells for $5.

Her equation will be y = 5c.

Since y = y, you can set the two equations equal to each other.

3c + 24 = 5c

5c = 3c + 24

Subtract 3c from both sides

2c = 24

Divide both sides by 2

c = 12

So, they must sell 12 bags of cookies to raise the same amount of money, $60. Yum!

Hope this helps!

45.36 feet per second

step-by-step explanation:

tyrone travels 30 miles in 58.2 minutes.  

1 mile = 5280 feet; this means he travels

30(5280) = 158400 feet in 58.2 minutes.

1 minute = 60 seconds; this means he travels 158400 feet in

58.2(60) = 3492 seconds.

this gives us the unit rate of

158400/3492 = 45.36 feet per second.
