Jen spent
37 of her money on 10 macarons and 5 cookies. If each macaron costs four times as much as a cookie, how many cookies could Jen buy with the rest of her money?
| |
Macarons |
Cookies |
| Number |
10 |
5 |
| Value |
4 u |
1 u |
| Total value |
40 u |
5 u |
Cost of 1 cookie = 1 u
Cost of 1 macaron = 4 u
Total cost of 10 macarons and 5 cookies
= 10 x 4 u + 5 x 1 u
= 45 u
Fraction of Jen's money left
= 1 -
37 =
4737 of Jen's money = 45 u
17 of Jen's money = 45 u ÷ 3 = 15 u
47 of Jen's money = 15 u x 4 = 60 u
Number of cookies that Jen could buy
= 60 u ÷ 1 u
= 60
Answer(s): 60
