Using the divison operation, the number of cookies that must be sold in other to meet their target is 91

  • Target amount to be raised = $500
  • Cost per cookie = $5.50

The Number of cookies that must be sold to meet their target can be obtained using the divison operation thus :

  • Target amount ÷ cost per cookie

Hence,

Number of cookies to be sold = $500 ÷ 5.50 = 90.90 = 91(nearest whole number)

Therefore, the Number of cookies that must be sold to meet their target is 91.
