Answer 1

Maria plans to sell each batch of cookies for $15. If she sells 10 batches, the total amount she makes from selling the cookies can be calculated as follows:

\[ y = 15 \times x \]

Substituting \(x = 10\):

\[ y = 15 \times 10 = 150 \]

So, if Maria sells 10 batches of cookies, she will make $150.

The correct response is:

$150
