how much will jackk spend making 10 packs on cookies

Answer 1

To determine how much Jack will spend making 10 packs of cookies, we first need to calculate the total cost for the ingredients and packaging.

1. **Cost of Ingredients**:
- Jack is making 6 packs of cookies.
- Let's assume each pack contains a certain number of cookies. However, since the number of cookies per pack isn't specified, we’ll treat each pack as a unit.
- The cost per pack of cookies (for the 6 packs) would be:
\[
\text{Cost for 6 packs} = 6 \text{ packs} \times 0.50 \text{ (cost per cookie)}
\]
- But we want to calculate for 10 packs:
\[
\text{Cost for 10 packs} = 10 \text{ packs} \times 0.50 \text{ (cost per cookie)} = 5.00
\]

2. **Cost of Packaging**:
- Jack needs to spend $5 total on packaging. This cost remains constant, regardless of the number of packs since it states it is a total cost.

3. **Total Cost**:
Now, we can add the total cost of ingredients and the packaging cost:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = \text{Cost of Ingredients} + \text{Cost of Packaging}
\]
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 5.00 + 5.00 = 10.00
\]

Therefore, Jack will spend **$10.00** making 10 packs of cookies.
