Question

A case of raisin cookies has 10 cartons. a carton has 12 boxes. the amount you earn on a whole case is 10(12x) dollars

A: What does x represent?

B: Simplify the expression

Answer 1

A. Here x represents the number of cookies packed inside 1 box of cookie.

B. The simplified expression = 120 x

Hence, the total number of raisin cookies in 10 cartons is 120 x

Explanation:

Total number of carton of cookies = 10

Number of boxes in 1 carton = 12

Let the cookie in 1 box = x

So, the number of cookies in 12 box = 12 ( Cookie in 1 box) = 12 x

as 12 box = 1 Carton

⇒The total number of cookies in 1 Carton = 12 x

So, the number of cookies in 10 cartons = 10 ( Cookies in 1 carton)

= 10 (12 x)

Hence, total number of raisin cookies packed in 10 cartons is 10 (12 x).

A. Here x represents the number of cookies packed inside 1 box of cookie.

B. The simplified expression = 10(12 x) = 120x

Hence, the total number of raisin cookies in 10 cartons is 120x
