A. 60
B. 75
C. 120
D. 150
E. 750

Answer: B

Solution:

We can let 3x, 5x, and 7x be the number of cookies that Sharon, Carol, and Elinor have, respectively. We can create the equation:

3x = 15

x = 5

Since the total number of cookies, in terms of x, is 3x + 5x + 7x = 15x, the total number of cookies is 15(5) = 75.

Answer: B
