55% of the cookies Joel baked had chocolate chips. If Joel baked 77 cookies with chocolate chips, how many cookies did he bake?

140 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total from a given percent you multiply the given number by 100 so 77 by 100 which gives you 7700.

Next you divide it by the percentage that it is which is 55 so 7700 / 55 which is 140.

140 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question all we have to do is divide 77 by 0.55

Why 0.55 because 0.55 is the decimal version of 55%

once we divide 77 by 0.55 that will give us our answer of 140 cookies.

Now to check our

If Joel made 140 cookies and 77 of those cookies are chocolate chip that would leave us with 63 cookies without chocolate chips. If we estimate our answer then 63 cookies would make total sense since we know that 55% = 77

then the other 45% would have to equal around 60-70 cookies

plz mark me brainliest if correct :)

the solution is the point

step-by-step explanation:

we have

> equation a

> equation b

adds equation a and equation b

substitute the value of x in equation b to find the value of y
