Question

William has a lemonade stand today he made $17.55 and lemonade sales and one-third that amount in cookie sales how much money did William make all together

Answer 1

1/3 is cookies sales
cookie+lemon=total

1/3 of 17.55=17.55/3=5.85

cookie+lemon=total
5.85+17.55=23.40

total made is $23.40

Answer 2

$23.40

Explanation:

Total money of William = Money from Lemonade + Money from Cookies

Money from lemonade:

It is given as $17.55

Money from cookies:

It is
`(1)/(3)` of money from lemonade. So we have;

`((1)/(3))(17.55)=5.85`

So, $5.85 from cookies.

Hence, total money of William is $17.55 + $5.85 = $23.40
