the lake braddock math society is having a bake sale that is selling brownies for $2 each and homemade miniature pies for $3. at the end of the sale they made $65. write an equation that models this scenario. let b represent the number of brownies and p represent the number of pies

65 = 2b + 3p

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each brownie is worth $2, you would multiply the amount of brownies sold by $2. This gives you how much money you made for the amount of brownies thus: 2b

You would apply the same concept to the pies which would give you 3p since each pie is worth $3

Since you are combining the amount of money made from selling both pies and brownies you are going to be adding the two variables together and set it equal to 65 since the total made was $65
