How much will Emma spend making 10 packs of cookies?

Answer 1

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: \[ 6 \text{ cookies} \times 0.50 \text{ dollars/cookie} = 3 \text{ dollars} \]

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: \[ \text{Cost for cookies} + \text{Cost for packaging} = 3 \text{ dollars} + 5 \text{ dollars} = 8 \text{ dollars} \]

4. Total Cost for 10 Packs:

   • If Emma makes 10 packs, the total cost will be: \[ 10 \text{ packs} \times 8 \text{ dollars/pack} = 80 \text{ dollars} \]

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