1 answer

To find out how many cookie soldiers Liliana can raise with 10 power ups, we can set up a proportion based on the information given:

14 cookie soldiers / 4 power ups = c cookie soldiers / 10 power ups

Cross-multiplying, we get:

14 * 10 = 4 * c

140 = 4c

Dividing both sides by 4, we get:

c = 35

Therefore, Liliana can raise 35 cookie soldiers with 10 power ups.

Now, to find out how many zombie soldiers she can raise with a total of 14 power ups, we can set up another proportion:

35 cookie soldiers / 10 power ups = z zombie soldiers / 14 power ups

Cross-multiplying, we get:

35 * 14 = 10 * z

490 = 10z

Dividing both sides by 10, we get:

z = 49

Therefore, Liliana can raise 49 zombie soldiers with a total of 14 power ups.

Therefore, the answer is d. 49.
