The amount raised from the sale of cookies is $48

The fraction of cookies sold = 1 - fraction of cupcakes

Fraction of cookies = 1 - 2/3 = 1/3

Number of cookies sold = 288 × 1/3 = 96 cookies

Number of cupcakes = 288 × (2/3) = 192 cupcakes

Amount made from sale of cupcakes :

$1 × 192 = $192

Amount made from sale of cookies :

$0.50 × 96 = $48

Therefore, the amount raised from the sale of cookies is $48
