How many cookies boxes does Mario use to package the black and white cookies he bakes? Between what two whole numbers are the total black and white cookies boxes Mario uses?

Liam bakes two dozen thanksgiving cookies he puts an equal number of cookies in three boxes how many cookies are in each box?
A small business employs 98 people. All of the employees work for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Eleven of the employees receive a wage of $45 an hour and the rest receive $30 an hour. In total, how much does the business pay its employees each week?
To determine whether Mario has enough sugar to bake 250 black and white cookies, we need to calculate the total amount of sugar needed.
The total amount of sugar needed for one batch of black and white cookies is 3 cups. In this case, each batch of cookie dough makes 5 large black and white cookies.
First, we need to calculate how many batches of cookies Mario can make with the available sugar.
Convert the 13 pounds of sugar to cups:
13 pounds * 11 cups/pound = 143 cups of sugar
Next, divide the total cups of sugar by the cups needed for one batch:
143 cups / 3 cups per batch = 47.67 batches
Since Mario cannot bake a fraction of a batch, he can make a maximum of 47 whole batches of black and white cookies.
To find out how many cookie boxes Mario will need, we need to calculate the total number of cookies baked.
One batch makes 5 cookies, so:
47 batches * 5 cookies per batch = 235 cookies
Now, we can calculate the number of cookie boxes needed to package these cookies.
Each cookie box holds 4 black and white cookies, so:
235 cookies / 4 cookies per box = 58.75 boxes
Since Mario cannot have a fraction of a cookie box, he would need to use a minimum of 59 cookie boxes.
Between what two whole numbers are the total black and white cookie boxes Mario uses?
The total number of cookie boxes falls between 59 and 60.
Finally, to calculate how much Mario will earn if he sells all the boxes of cookies, we need to multiply the total number of cookie boxes by the price per box.
59 boxes * $27.85 per box = $1640.15
Therefore, Mario would earn $1640.15 if he sells all the boxes of cookies.
