Ciara is baking biscuits for a bake sale. Each batch makes 75 biscuits and her friends give her another 60 biscuits and she ends up with 360 biscuits total for the big sale use algebra to sell for how many batches she made.

Answer 1

Let's use algebra to solve the problem.

Let's say Ciara made 'x' batches of biscuits.

The number of biscuits she made in 'x' batches is 75x.

Her friends gave her another 60 biscuits.

So, the total number of biscuits she has is 75x + 60.

According to the problem, the total number of biscuits she has is 360.

Therefore, we have the equation 75x + 60 = 360.

By subtracting 60 from both sides of the equation, we get 75x = 300.

Finally, dividing both sides of the equation by 75, we find that x = 4.

Therefore, Ciara made 4 batches of biscuits.
