Question

In a cookie mix, we find spice cookies, snickerdoodle cookies, and no-bake cookies in a ratio of 3:3:5. If a bag of the mix contains 45 no bake cookies, how many cookies in total are there?

Answer 1

Answer:

see the explaination

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be 3:3:5

3x:3x:5x

3x is splice cookies

3x is snickerdoodle cookies

5x is no bake cookies

where 5x is equal to 45

x is equal to 45÷5=9

so x is equal to 9

now,

3x = 3×9=27

3x = 3×9=27

5x = 45 (given)

now add all, total cookies =27+27+45

=99 cookies

so there are total 99 cookies in a cookie mix
