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.
-
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: \[ \text{Cost for 10 packs} = 10 \text{ packs} \times 0.50 \text{ (cost per cookie)} = 5.00 \]
-
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.
-
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.
