C. 9c/20
D. c/2

Answer 1

The following expressions give the number of cookies, in terms of c, that Priti still has at the end of the third period are B. c/5.

How do you figure out the expression?

• The first time period includes:
• Initial = 1/4 * C
• The first period equals C/4.
• What's left: =C-C/4=3C/4
• The second period is as follows:
• Period two equals 1/5*3C/4.

1. 3C/20 is the second period.
2. The third period is as follows:
3. The third period is equal to 2/3 * 12C/ 20.
4. Period three = 24C/60.
5. Third semester = 2C/5.
6. Here is further information on expressions:
7. Number Left = 3C/4 - 3C/20 = 12C/2

Answer 2

An expression which gives the number of cookies that Priti still has at the end of third period is 2C/5.

How to determine the expression?

For the first period, we have:

First period = 1/4 × C

First period = C/4.

Remaining = C - C/4 = 3C/4

For the second period, we have:

Second period = 1/5 × 3C/4

Second period = 3C/20.

Remaining = 3C/4 - 3C/20 = 12C/20

For the third period, we have:

Third period = 2/3 × 12C/20

Third period = 24C/60.

Third period = 2C/5.
