Question

A baking club has a bake sale, selling brownies at $1.50 per brownie. Write an equation using two variables to show the relationship between the number of brownies sold, b , and the total sales from brownies, s . What is the total sales from brownies if the club sells 25?(1 point) Responses b=1.5s ; $25.00 b equals 1.5 c ; $25.00 s=1.5b ; $25.00 c equals 1.5 b ; $25.00 s=1.5b ; $37.50 c equals 1.5 b ; $37.50 b=1.5s ; $37.50

Answer 1

To represent the relationship between the number of brownies sold (\(b\)) and the total sales from brownies (\(s\)), we can use the equation:

\[ s = 1.5b \]

In this equation, \(s\) is the total sales in dollars and \(b\) is the number of brownies sold at $1.50 each.

Now, if the club sells 25 brownies, we can substitute \(b = 25\) into the equation:

\[ s = 1.5 \times 25 \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ s = 37.50 \]

Thus, the total sales from selling 25 brownies would be $37.50.

The correct response is: s = 1.5b; $37.50.
