Siara 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 x be the number of batches Siara made.
Siara made x * 75 biscuits in total.
She also received 60 additional biscuits from her friend.
The total number of biscuits she ended up with is x * 75 + 60.
This is equal to 360.
Thus, x * 75 + 60 = 360.
Subtracting 60 from both sides, we get x * 75 = 300.
Dividing both sides by 75, we get x = 4.
Therefore, Siara made 4 batches. Answer: \boxed{4}.
