To support a local charity, a community center hosted a bake sale. Cookies were sold for $2 each, and cakes
were sold for $10 each. A total of $800 was raised from the bake sale.
a) Which equation can be used to represent how many cookies (c) and cakes (k) were sold?

Answer 1

To represent the total amount raised from the sale of cookies and cakes, you can use the following equation:

\[
2c + 10k = 800
\]

In this equation:
- \( c \) represents the number of cookies sold, with each cookie selling for $2.
- \( k \) represents the number of cakes sold, with each cake selling for $10.
- The total amount raised from both cookies and cakes equals $800.
