Answer: 12 peanut butter cookies

Explanation:

Fred had made 10 dozen cookies which means he made:

= 10 * 12

= 120 cookies

Out of those, 1/4 were peanut butter:

= 120 * 1/4

= 30 peanut butter cookies

He burned 3/5 of the peanut butter cookies:

= 30 * 3/5

= 18 cookies were burnt

The amount let is therefore:

= 30 - 18

= 12 peanut butter cookies

Unfortunately, Fred had some trouble in the kitchen and 3/5 of the peanut butter cookies-example-1
