Question

PLEASE HELP ME

A cookie jar contains three types of cookies: oatmeal, chocolate chip, and sugar. 60% are chocolate chip. Half of the remaining cookies are oatmeal. If there are 9 oatmeal cookies, how many cookies are in the jar?

Answer 1

45 cookies in the jar

Explanation:

100% - 60% = 40%

Half of the remaining (40%) are oatmeal so half of 40% = 20%.

20% are oatmeal.

If 20% = 9,

100% = 45

Hope this helped! If you have any further questions, let me know!
