Create an equation to represent the total amount of money Matt and Phil earned at the fundraiser based on the number of cookies Matt made. Explain how you determine your equation. Into you a question and you exclamation in the box provided.

A = (0.25)(0.8)(x + 1.25x)  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of cookies Matt made

Let 1.25x = number of cookies Phil made  {Phil made 25% more cookies than Matt}

A = total money earned

A = (0.25)(0.8)(x + 1.25x)  

They sold 80% of the combined cookies made at $0.25 each.
