Arleys Bakery makes fat-free cookies that cost 1.50 ea. Arley expects 15% of the cookies to fall apart and be discarded. Arley wants a 45% markup on cost and produces 200 cookies. What should Arley price each cookie? Arley can sell the broken cookies for 1.40 each, what should Arley price the broken cookies at?

The answer for the 2nd ? is $2.31 but I cant figure out how the book got that answer.

Please help.

Thanks

ok still confused.. how did u get 100 cookies when the 15% of cookies falls apart is only 30 cookies, so confused..

to get what she should be charging for good cookies
200 x 1.5 = 300
300 + .45(300) = 435
200 x .15 = 30 bad cookies
200 - 30 = 170 good cookies
435 / 170 = 2.56
