Question

how much will jackk spend making 10 packs on cookies

Answer 1

To calculate the total cost for Jack to make 10 packs of cookies, we need to determine both the cost of the ingredients and the cost of packaging.

1. Calculate the number of cookies Jack is making: Since Jack wants to make 6 packs and he is making 10 packs: \[ \text{Total cookies} = 10 \text{ packs} \times 6 \text{ cookies per pack} = 60 \text{ cookies} \]

2. Calculate the cost of ingredients: The cost to make each cookie is $0.50. Therefore, for 60 cookies: \[ \text{Cost of ingredients} = 60 \text{ cookies} \times 0.50 \text{ dollars per cookie} = 30 \text{ dollars} \]

3. Calculate the cost of packaging: The total cost for packaging is $5.

4. Calculate the total cost: Finally, add the cost of ingredients and the packaging cost together: \[ \text{Total cost} = \text{Cost of ingredients} + \text{Cost of packaging} = 30 \text{ dollars} + 5 \text{ dollars} = 35 \text{ dollars} \]

Thus, Jack will spend a total of $35 making 10 packs of cookies.
