STEP 1

Assumptions1. Each box contains10 chocolate chip cookies,6 peanut butter cookies, and4 oatmeal raisin cookies. . There were30 total peanut butter cookies.

STEP 2

First, we need to find out how many boxes Mr. Chen bought. We can do this by dividing the total number of peanut butter cookies by the number of peanut butter cookies in each box.
$Number\, of\, boxes = Total\, peanut\, butter\, cookies / Peanut\, butter\, cookies\, per\, box$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the total peanut butter cookies and peanut butter cookies per box to calculate the number of boxes.
$Number\, of\, boxes =30 /6$

STEP 4

Calculate the number of boxes.
$Number\, of\, boxes =30 /6 =$

STEP 5

Now that we have the number of boxes, we can find the total number of chocolate chip cookies. We can do this by multiplying the number of boxes by the number of chocolate chip cookies in each box.
$Total\, chocolate\, chip\, cookies = Number\, of\, boxes \\times Chocolate\, chip\, cookies\, per\, box$

STEP 6

Plug in the values for the number of boxes and chocolate chip cookies per box to calculate the total chocolate chip cookies.
$Total\, chocolate\, chip\, cookies =5 \\times10$

STEP 7
