total no of cookies = 30
\n" ); document.write( "no of cookies eaten = 1/3 of total
\n" ); document.write( " = $\"%281%2F3%29%2A30\"$
\n" ); document.write( " = 10
\n" ); document.write( " no of cookies remaining = 30-10
\n" ); document.write( " = 20
\n" ); document.write( "weight of each cookie = 1/2 once
\n" ); document.write( " weight of 20 cookies = 20* 1/2
\n" ); document.write( " =10 ounces
\n" ); document.write( "weight of empty box = 2 ounces
\n" ); document.write( " weight of the box = weight of remaining cookies +weight of empty box
\n" ); document.write( " = 10+2
\n" ); document.write( " = 12 ounces
\n" ); document.write( "Result : weight of the box = 12 ounces
\n" ); document.write( " weight of remaining cookies =10 ounces\r
