A restaurant has made 100 fortune cookies to celebrate Chinese New Year.
They are put into packets, each holding 6 cookies.
Each packet of 6 cookies is sold for £1.35.
The restaurant sells all the packets.
Work out how much money the restaurant made from selling all the packets of fortune cookies.
Answer:
First you find how many cookies are in each packet by doing 100/6 which is 16 and ⅔.
However, since you can’t have ⅔ of a packet you round it down to 16.
Then to find total profit you do 16 x 1.35 as all packets are sold at £1.35 and you get £21.60.
