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.
300*(1-3/4) = 300 * 1/4 = ?
(1-1/3)? = 2/3? = ??
Find ? then ??
Is it 50??
Because 300 * 1/4 = 75
And I did 2/3 * 75 = 50
So it has to be 50
3/4 of 300 = 225 cookies sold. How many cookies did she have remaining? (300-225 = 75) . 75 cookies left. Now she gave the neighbor 1/3 of the cookies left. So how many cookies did she give away? (25 cookies) 1/3 of 75. Ending question: How many cookies did she have left? 50 cookies.
75 - 25 = 50.
To find out how many tarts Marisol had left, we need to calculate the number of cookies she sold and the number of cookies she gave to her neighbor.
Step 1: Find out how many cookies Marisol sold.
Marisol sold 3/4 of the 300 cookies, which can be calculated by multiplying the total number of cookies (300) by 3/4.
300 * 3/4 = 900/4 = 225 cookies.
Step 2: Find out the remainder of cookies Marisol had after selling.
To find out the remainder, we subtract the cookies sold (225) from the total number of cookies (300).
300 - 225 = 75 cookies.
Step 3: Find out how many cookies Marisol gave to her neighbor.
Marisol gave 1/3 of the remainder (75) to her neighbor, which can be calculated by multiplying 75 by 1/3.
75 * 1/3 = 75/3 = 25 cookies.
Step 4: Find out the number of tarts Marisol had left.
To find out the number of tarts, we subtract the cookies given to the neighbor (25) from the remainder of cookies (75).
75 - 25 = 50 tarts.
Therefore, Marisol had 50 tarts left after selling 3/4 of the cookies and giving 1/3 of the remainder to her neighbor.
