please explain step by step thanks.​

Answer 1

Answer:

15 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

Cookies left after selling 3/4 of it = 300 * 3/4 = 900/4 = 225

Cookies left after giving 1/3 to her sister = 225 * 1/3 = 75

Cookies each friend got = 75/5 = 15 cookies

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, total cookies = 300

therefore cookies sold = 3/4 of total

= 3/4× 300

= 3× 75 = 225

So now mrs padayhag is left with , 300-225 cookies

= 75 cookies

She now gave 1/3 out of these to her sister

= 1/3 × 75 = 25 cookies

Now the remaining cookies = 75-25 = 50 cookies

since she shared these cookies to her 5 friends

each of them got 50/5 = 10 each.
