Question

At a bakery sale there were 72 raisin cookies sold if the ratio of raisin cookie sorrel to oatmeal cookies sold was 9:1, what is the combined amount of raisin and oatmeal cookies sold

Answer 1

80 cookies

Explanation:

To find the number of oatmeal cookies sold you would divide 72 by 9.

72 / 9 = 8

This means that 8 oatmeal cookies were sold at the bakery sale. The question wants you to find the combined amount of raisin and oatmeal cookies sold, so add 72 and 8 together.

72 + 8 = 80

80 raisin and oatmeal cookies were sold.
