The school sells 240 cookies. ¼ of the cookies had chocolate chips, ½ of the remaining cookies had raisins, and the rest were peanut butter. How many cookies were peanut butter?

Sagot :

Answer:

90 peanut butter

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of cookies [tex]=240[/tex]

Number of chocolate cookies [tex]=\frac{1}{4}(240)=60[/tex]

Therefore,

Number of remaining cookies [tex]=240-60=180[/tex]

Number of raisins [tex]=\frac{1}{2}(180)=90[/tex]

So,

Number of peanut butter [tex]=180-90=90[/tex]
