Answer:

25 cookies

Explanation:

Since the number of cookies is proportional to the cost, we can create a proportion to determine the amount of cookies you can buy for Php 545.00:

10 cookies / Php 217.75 = x cookies / Php 545.00

(10 / 217.75 = x / 545.00) * 545.00

25.028 = x

25 = x

Thus, you can buy about 25 cookies for Php 545.00
