Question

Mrs. Onusko made 60 cookies for a bake sale she sold 2/3 and gave 3/4 of the remaining cookies to the students working at the sale how many cookies did she have left

Answer 1

Given:

• Mrs. Onusko made 60 cookies
• She sold 2/3 of the cookies
• She gave 3/4 of the remaining to the students.

To find:

• How many cookies did she have left?

Solution:

Based on the information above, first we are going to calculate the number of cookies that were sold:

$\sf{\frac{2}{3} \times 60 = \frac{120}{30} = 40 \: cookies}$

so the remaining cookies would be:

= total cookies made - total cookies sold

= 60-40 = 20 cookies

Mrs. Onusko gave 3/4 of the remaining cookies to the students:

$\sf{ \frac{3}{4} \times 20 = 15 \: cookies}$

So, now the number of cookies left:

20 - 15 = 5 cookies

$\sf{ \green{Hence \: 5 \: cookies \: are \: left}}$

Hope this helps you Shoto Todoriki!!
