Question

Mr Chan made 252 cookies for the annual fifth grade class bake sale. They sold 3/4 of them, and 3/9 of the remaining cookies that were given to PTA members. MR. Chan allowed the 12 student helpers to divide the cookies that were left equally. How many cookies will each student get?l

Answer 1

3.5 cookies each

Explanation:

of the 252 cookies, only 63 are left after the sale

252 x .25 = 63

3/9 = 1/3

1/3 of 63 = 21 cookies to PTA

63-21 = 42

42/12 students = 3.5 cookies each
