Paolo is using his grandmother’s cookie recipe. He always doubles the amount of chocolate chips and oats. The recipe calls for 212 cups of chocolate chips. The total amount of chips and oats after doubling is 613 cups.

Write an equation to find the original amount of oats, x, in the recipe.

Respuesta :

Answer:

y = 94.5 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say:

  • y = oats
  • x = chocolate chips = 212

=> Full Recipe = 212 + y

=> 2(Full Recipe) = 2(212 + y) = 613 cups

=> 2(Full Recipe) = 424 + 2y = 613 cups

=> 2y = 613 - 424

=> 2y = 189

=> y = 94.5

Therefore, the required oats to do double the recipe is 94.5 cups.

Hoped this helped.
