A cookie company uses one cup of sugar for every 25 cookies it makes. Let S represent the total number of cups of sugar used, and let N represent the number of cookies made. Write and equation relating S to N

Answer: S=25N

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that for every cup of sugar, the cookie company is able to make 25 cookies. Therefore the equation should begin with S, the total number of cups of sugar, and relate that to the number of cookies made. So, the correct answer would be for S (The total number of cups of sugar used) equals 25 times N (Number of cookies made.)

You can check your work by substituting some values:

Let's say that the company makes 50 cookies, and uses 2 cups of sugar. This would make sense in the equation as 50=25 (2).
