Question

Answer 1

Martha earns $65.6 over the weekend.

Explanation:

Brownies sold by Martha on Saturday = 60

Cookies sold by Martha on Saturday = 42

Brownies sold by Martha on Sunday = 28

Cookies sold by Martha on Sunday = 54

Total brownies sold by Martha over the weekend =
`60+28=88`

Total cookies sold by Martha over the weekend =
`42+54=96`

Cost of a brownie = $0.20

Cost of a cookie = $0.50

Total cost of brownies sold over the weekend =
`88* \$0.20 = \$17.6`

Total cost of cookies sold over the weekend =
`96* \$0.50 = \$48`

∴ Total money Martha earned over the weekend =
`\$17.6+\$48=\$65.6` (Answer)
