Math Problem Statement

Nora baked 5 times as many as Rohani.Both of them baked an average of 360 cookies.How many cookies did Nora baked?

Solution

Let the number of cookies Rohani baked be xx.

Since Nora baked 5 times as many cookies as Rohani, Nora baked 5x5x cookies.

The average number of cookies they both baked is 360, which means:

x+5x2=360\frac{x + 5x}{2} = 360

Simplifying the left side:

6x2=360\frac{6x}{2} = 360

3x=3603x = 360

Now, solve for xx:

x=3603=120x = \frac{360}{3} = 120

Since Nora baked 5 times as many cookies as Rohani, the number of cookies Nora baked is:

5x=5×120=6005x = 5 \times 120 = 600

So, Nora baked 600 cookies.
