Question 1170715: Mrs. Ramos sold twice as many butter
cookies as chocolate chip cookies and
twice as many chocolate chip cookies as
coconut cookies. Each cookie was sold
for 9 peso. Each box of 6 cookies was sold
for 45 peso. If she sold 80 chocolate chip
cookies, how much did Mrs. Ramos earn
from the sale of all the cookies? Answer by CPhill(1959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let's break this problem down step by step:
**1. Calculate the number of each type of cookie:**
* Chocolate chip cookies: 80
* Butter cookies: 80 * 2 = 160
* Coconut cookies: 80 / 2 = 40
**2. Calculate the total number of cookies sold:**
* Total cookies: 160 (butter) + 80 (chocolate chip) + 40 (coconut) = 280 cookies
**3. Calculate the number of boxes sold:**
* Number of boxes: 280 cookies / 6 cookies per box = 46.666...
* Since you can't sell a fraction of a box, Mrs. Ramos sold 46 full boxes and then some individual cookies.
**4. Calculate the number of individual cookies sold:**
* Individual cookies: 280 cookies - (46 boxes * 6 cookies/box) = 280 - 276 = 4 cookies
**5. Calculate the earnings from the boxes:**
* Earnings from boxes: 46 boxes * 45 peso/box = 2070 peso
**6. Calculate the earnings from the individual cookies:**
* Earnings from individual cookies: 4 cookies * 9 peso/cookie = 36 peso
**7. Calculate the total earnings:**
* Total earnings: 2070 peso + 36 peso = 2106 peso
**Answer:** Mrs. Ramos earned 2106 pesos from the sale of all the cookies.
