Question

6. Abox of cookies contained 5 chocolate cookies and 4 vanilla cookies.
A bakery sold 546 of such boxes of cookies.
How many cookies did the bakery sell altogether?​

Answer 1

Answer:

4,914

Step by step explanation

5 + 4 = 9 - total cookies in a box

546 × 9 - total cookies

546 × 9 = 4,914

Answer 2

Number of chocolate cookies in a box of cookies = 5

Number of vanilla cookies in a box of cookies = 4

This can be written in a ratio as = 5 : 4

Using this let us find the number of such cookies in 546 boxes .

Number of cookies in 546 boxes of cookies :-

= 546 × 9

= 4914

Number of chocolate cookies in 546 boxes of cookies :-

$= \frac{5}{9} \: of \: 4914$

$= \frac{5}{9} \times 4914$

$=2730 \:$

So , 546 boxes of cookies will contain 2730 chocolate cookies .

Number of vanilla cookies in 546 boxes of cookies :-

$= \frac{4}{9} \: of \: 4914$

$= \frac{4}{9} \times 4914$

$= 2184$

So , 546 boxes of cookies will contain 2184 vanilla cookies .

Therefore , the bakery altogether sold 4914 cookies out of which 2730 were chocolate cookies and 2184 were vanilla cookies .
