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.
