Explanation: Explanation: She sold 4/5 of the cookies, so she sold 280 cookies. If she charged 50¢ per cookie, she would have collected $140.00. Because she sold the cookies for 65¢ each, she collected more than $140.00. B. Answer: $182.00. Explanation: If she sold all of the cookies, she would have collected $227.50. Because she only sold 4/5 of the cookies, she collected less than $227.50. C. Answer: $207.50. Explanation: If she sold all of the cookies, she would have made $227.50.
