Siara is baking biscuits for a bake sale. Each batch makes 75 biscuits, and her friend gives her another 60 biscuits. She ends up with 360 biscuits total for the bake sale. Use algebra to solve for how many batches she made.(1 point)

Answer 1

Let's assume she made x batches of biscuits.
Each batch makes 75 biscuits, so she made a total of 75x biscuits.
Her friend gave her an additional 60 biscuits.
The total number of biscuits she had for the bake sale is 75x + 60.
Setting this equal to 360, we have:
75x + 60 = 360
Subtracting 60 from both sides, we get:
75x = 300
Dividing both sides by 75, we get:
x = 4
So, she made 4 batches of biscuits. Answer: \boxed{4}.
