Question

Megan made 230 cookies. Of the cookies 1/3 are her secret recipe twist cookies. If she charges $1.25 per twist cookie, how much can she make if she seeks them?

Answer 1

Megan made $ 96.25 from twist cookies

Solution:

Given that Megan made 230 cookies

Of the cookies 1/3 are her secret recipe twist cookies

Number of twist cookies = $\frac{1}{3}$ of 230 cookies

$\text {Number of twist cookies }=\frac{1}{3} \times 230=76.67 \approx 77$

Megan charges $1.25 per twist cookie

Therefore, cost of 1 twist cookie = $ 1.25

To find: amount she made from twist cookies

amount she made from twist cookies = number of twist cookies she made x cost of 1 twist cookie

$\text {amount she made from twist cookies }=77 \times 1.25=96.25$

Thus she made $ 96.25 from twist cookies
