Sara is baking biscuits for a bake sale. Each batch makes 75 biscuits, and her friend gives her another 60 biscuits. She ends up with 360 biscuits total for the bake sale. Use algebra to solve for how many batches she made. (1 point)

Answer 1

Let's assume Sara made x batches of biscuits.
Since each batch makes 75 biscuits, the total number of biscuits from the batches is 75x.
Her friend also gave her 60 biscuits.
Therefore, the total number of biscuits Sara has is 75x + 60.
Since she ends up with 360 biscuits in total, we can set up the equation: 75x + 60 = 360.
Now we need to solve this equation for x.
Subtract 60 from both sides: 75x = 300.
Divide both sides by 75: x = 4.
Therefore, Sara made 4 batches of biscuits. Answer: \boxed{4}.
