Deyonne made 25% more cookies than Cameron. They sold the cookies for $0.50 each. Let x represent the number of cookies Cameron made. Which of the following expressions represent possible revenue from the sales. Select all that apply.

0.50(x + (x + 0.25x)]
0.50(x + 0.25x)
0.50(x + 1.25x)
0.50(0.75x + x)
0.50(1.75x)
0.50(2.25x)
solve step by step

1 answer

To solve this problem, let's first find the number of cookies Deyonne made.

Since Deyonne made 25% more cookies than Cameron, we can express this as:

Deyonne's number of cookies = Cameron's number of cookies + 25% of Cameron's number of cookies
Deyonne's number of cookies = x + 0.25x

Now let's find the revenue from the sales.

The revenue per cookie is $0.50, so the equation to find the revenue from the sales is:

Revenue = $0.50 * number of cookies

Let's substitute the expression for the number of cookies Deyonne made into this equation:

Revenue = $0.50 * (x + 0.25x)

Now let's simplify this expression:
Revenue = $0.50 * 1.25x
Revenue = 0.625x

Therefore, the correct expression that represents the possible revenue from the sales is 0.625x. None of the other expressions listed are correct.
