Respuesta :

Answer:

She bakes 160 cookies in all.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Alyssa bakes cookies for the bake sale. 35% of the cookies are chocolate chip and 56 of the cookies are chocolate chip.

Let the total number of cookies baked by Alyssa be 'x'.

Number of chocolate chip = 56

So, according to the question;

35% of total cookies = 56

35% of x = 56

[tex]\frac{35}{100} \times x = 56[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{56\times 100}{35}[/tex]

[tex]x= 8 \times 20[/tex] = 160 cookies

Hence, Alyssa bakes 160 cookies for the bake sale.
