2/3 of 60 is 40 that she sold leaving 20, she then gave away 3/4 of them
3/4 of 20 is 15, that she gave away so she has 5 left

There are 5 cookies left.

Further Explanation

Given:

  • Mrs. Onusko made 60 cookies
  • She sold [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] of the cookies
  • She gave [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of the remaining to the students

Question:

How many cookies did she have left?

Based on the information above, first we are going to calculate the number of cookies that were sold:

[tex]\boxed {\frac{2}{3}  \times60 = \frac{120}{30} =  40 cookies}[/tex]

so the remaining cookies would be:

= total cookies made - total cookies sold = 60-40 = 20 cookies

Mrs. Onusko gave [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of the remaining cookies to the students:

[tex]\boxed {\frac{3}{4} \times20 = 15 cookies }[/tex]

so, now the number of cookies left:

[tex]\boxed {20-15 = 5 cookies }[/tex]
