A variety pack of cookies contains 48 cookies. 1/4 of the pack is sugar cookies, 3/8 of the pack is oatmeal raisins cookies, 10are cinnamon, and the rest of the pack is chocolate chip. Determine how many cookies are sugar. How many cookies are chocolate chip? Show and explain all work

There are 8 chocolate chip cookies in the package

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find that, we need to find the amount of other cookies. To start, we can multiply the total number of cookies by the percentages for sugar and oatmeal to get their totals.

48 cookies * 1/4 = 12 sugar cookies

48 cookies * 3/8 = 18 oatmeal cookies

Now that we know these two and add in the 10 cinnamon, we can subtract from the total.

12 sugar + 18 oatmeal + 10 cinnamon = 40 cookies

Knowing that there are 48 in total, we can figure there is 8 chocolate chip cookies.
