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 were given to P.T.A members.how many cookies were given to the pta members? Pleaseeeeeeeese heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp!!!!!!?

Answer 1

So, personally I would take 252 and divide it by 4. this will give you 63 which is 1/4 of the cookies. Then add that 63 three times to get a total of 189 cookies which would be your 3/4 sold. so since there is only 63 cookies left then you would go into your final problem. 3/9 is equal to 1/3, so all you would do is divide 63 by 3 and get a total of 21 cookies given to the pta.
