Marisol made 300 cookies. She sold 3/4 of them and 1/3 of the remainder to her neighbor. How many tarts did she have left.
Plz show your work ASAP
300/4= 75
she sold 75 of them
300-75=225
225/3=75
225-75=150
she gave 75 to her neighbor
she has 150 left.
Do not use that, i read the question wrong
To find out how many tarts Marisol had left, we'll break down the problem step by step.
1. Start with the total number of cookies Marisol made, which is 300.
2. Next, we need to find out how many cookies Marisol sold. She sold 3/4 of the total cookies. 3/4 can be written as a decimal by dividing 3 by 4: 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75.
3. To find out how many cookies Marisol sold, we multiply the total cookies by the decimal equivalent of 3/4:
300 cookies × 0.75 = 225 cookies
4. Now, we need to calculate the remainder. To do this, we subtract the number of cookies Marisol sold from the total number of cookies:
300 cookies - 225 cookies = 75 cookies
5. Finally, Marisol sold 1/3 of the remainder to her neighbor. We can find this by multiplying the remainder by the decimal equivalent of 1/3:
75 cookies × (1/3) = 25 cookies
Therefore, Marisol had 25 tarts left after selling 3/4 of her cookies and 1/3 of the remaining cookies to her neighbor.
