a.
300
b.
12
c.
120
d.
280

120

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, she made b baskets of desserts.

One basket cost is $ 2.5

Therefore, the cost of b baskets = 2.5 b dollars

Since, Her fixed weekly costs for rent, electricity, and salaries are $200.

Thus, her total expenses = Her fixed weekly costs for rent, electricity, and salaries + The cost of b baskets

= 200 + 2.5 b

Therefore,  200 + 2.5 b = 500

⇒ 2.5 b = 300

⇒ b = 120

⇒ Total number of dessert baskets = 120
