Answers for sheet # 222
1) 4 cups x 6 ounces + 6 cups x 4 ounces = 48 ounces = 3 pints
2) 4 cakes x 4 ounces/cake + 2 cakes x 2 ounces/cake = 20 ounces
20 ounces x $0.25 = $5
3) Chocolate cookies = 6 trays x 8 cookies = 48 cookies
Oatmeal cookies = 9 trays x 6 cookies = 54 cookies
Yesterday, she baked 6 more cookies.
Chocolate cookies = $0.25 x 48 cookies = $12.00
Oatmeal cookies = $0.30 x 54 cookies = $16.20
Total = $12 + $16.20 = $28.20
