Diary is baking biscuits for a bake sale, each batch makes )& biscuits and her friends

Question

Gives her another 60 biscuits, she ends up with 360 biscuits total for the bake sale. Use algebra ti solve for how many batches she made.

Answer 1

Let's assume that Diary made "x" batches of biscuits.
Each batch makes 6 biscuits.
So x batches would make a total of x * 6 biscuits.

Her friends gave her another 60 biscuits.

So, the total number of biscuits would be x * 6 + 60.

This should be equal to 360, as mentioned.

Therefore, we can write the equation as:

x * 6 + 60 = 360

Now, let's solve for x.

Subtracting 60 from both sides:

x * 6 = 360 - 60
x * 6 = 300

Dividing both sides by 6:

x = 300 / 6
x = 50

So, Diary made 50 batches of biscuits for the bake sale.
