1 answer

To calculate how much Emma will spend making 10 packs of cookies, we first need to determine the cost of making one pack of cookies.

  1. Cost of Cookies:

    • Each pack contains 6 cookies.
    • The cost per cookie is $0.50.
    • Therefore, the cost for 6 cookies is: 6 cookies×0.50 dollars/cookie=3 dollars
  2. Cost of Packaging:

    • The total packaging cost is $5 per pack.
  3. Total Cost for One Pack:

    • The total cost for one pack of cookies is: Cost for cookies+Cost for packaging=3 dollars+5 dollars=8 dollars
  4. Total Cost for 10 Packs:

    • If Emma makes 10 packs, the total cost will be: 10 packs×8 dollars/pack=80 dollars

Therefore, Emma will spend $80 making 10 packs of cookies.
