$16.80 because 12*14 equals 168 then you take 14 times 1.20
  • 14 boxes of 12 cookies can be packaged.
  • Wanda made $16.8.

------------------------------------------------------

This question is solved using proportions.

  • In each box, there are 12 cookies.
  • She baked 168 cookies.

Thus, to find the number of boxes, we use a rule of three.

1 box - 12 cookies.

x boxes - 168 cookies.

Applying cross multiplication:

[tex]12x = 168[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{168}{12}[/tex]

[tex]x = 14[/tex]

Thus, 14 boxes can be packaged.

------------------------------------------------------

Now, we find the amount of money she made.

  • She sold 14 boxes.
  • Each box for $1.20.

Thus:

[tex]T = 14 \times 1.2 = 16.8[/tex]

She made $16.8.
