Question

Emerson made 408 homemade dog treats to sell at a local pet store. She puts 24 treats in each bag and sells the bags for $7 each. How much money will Emerson makes if she sells all of the treat bags?

$119
$126
$147
$168

Answer 1

To find out how much money Emerson will make by selling all of the treat bags, we first need to determine how many bags of treats she can make from the 408 homemade dog treats.

1. **Calculate the number of bags**:
\[
\text{Number of bags} = \frac{408 \text{ treats}}{24 \text{ treats/bag}} = 17 \text{ bags}
\]

2. **Calculate the total money earned from selling the bags**:
\[
\text{Total money earned} = 17 \text{ bags} \times 7 \text{ dollars/bag} = 119 \text{ dollars}
\]

Thus, if Emerson sells all of the treat bags, she will make **$119**.
