Problema Solution

Suzanne and Jane made some cookies. They gave 1/3 to their friends, ate 1/4 of the remaining cookies, and froze the rest to eat later. If they ate 9 cookies between the 2 of them, how many cookies did they make altogether?

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'x' be the number of cookies they made


(x - x/3)*(1/4) = 9


2x/3 = 36


x = 39 cookies


they made 39 cookies.
