You are going to be really up the creek in Math if you can't do this one yourself.
5 dozen cookies is 60 cookies per variety (5 x 12).
With 6 varieties per day that is 6 x 60 which equal 360 cookies.
Each week has 5 open days and the question is about 4 weeks so that is 5 x 4 for 20 days.
For 20 days that is 20 x 360 which equals 7200 total cookies.

Think about it. It isn't too hard.
Here is what you know:
6 varieties
5 do. (60) in 1 day
You want to know how many cookies are baked in 4 weeks (20 days since you don't count weekends).
First, you need to figure out how many cookies are baked in 1 day.
There are 60 cookies of EACH variety baked in 1 day. To find the TOTAL in one day, you multiply 60 times 6.
60 x 6 = 360
Now you know that 360 cookies are baked in 1 day.
Since the bakery only bakes on weekdays (Mon. - Fri.) you can multiply 360 times 5 to see how many are baked in 1 work week.
360 X 5 = 1800
If 1800 cookies are baked in 1 week, and you want to know how many are baked in 4 weeks, you multiply to find out.
1800 x 4 = 7200
That means that 7,200 cookies are baked in 4 weeks at the bakery.

5*12 = 60
60*6 = 360
360*5= 1,800
1800* 4 = 7,200
7,200 thats a lot of cookies!

Do your homework so some day you can sit on Yahoo Answers and tell other kids to do their homework too... even though you know the answer because you're so smart from studying so hard and doing all your own homework :)
And neither of the answers above me is right - lol
Aha... an edit... it IS 7200 but you need to show your work now....

6(60)=360 cookies per day
360(5)=1,800 per week ***only monday through friday
1,800(4)=7,200 every 4 weeks

5doz x 12=60
60 x6=360
360 per day x 20 days=7200
