Answer:
[tex]3^{10}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The number of packages of cookies = 3 ( oatmeal, chocolate chip, and shortbread )
Since, in each packet the number of possible ways of placing a cookie = 3 ( ∵ we can place from any of the packets )
If there are 10 such plates,
Then the total possible ways of placing a cookie in 10 plates
= 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3
[tex]=3^{10}[/tex]
