Question

A variety pack of cookies contains 48 cookies. 1/4 of the pack is sugar cookies, 3/8 of the pack is oatmeal raisin cookies, 10 are cinnamon, and the rest of the pack is chocolate chip.

• Determine how many of the cookies are sugar.
• How many cookies are chocolate chip?
• Show and explain all work.

Answer 1

Sugar=12

Chocolate chip=8

Explanation:

48 divided by four = 12

12 sugar cookies

48 divided by eight = 6

6 times 3 equals 18

18 oatmeal raisin cookies

+10

10 cinnamon cookies

and lastly, you add them together, and subtract the result from 48.

12+18+10=40

48-40=8

8 chocolate chip cookies.
