Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The recipe called for7 ounces of blackberries,7 ounces of raspberries, and6 ounces of strawberries. . Bella bought1 container of each kind of berry, each container is12 ounces.
3. The remaining berries are the ones that were not used in the recipe.

STEP 2

First, we need to find the total amount of berries used in the recipe. We can do this by adding the amount of each kind of berry used.
Total used=Blackberries used+Raspberries used+Strawberries usedTotal\, used = Blackberries\, used + Raspberries\, used + Strawberries\, used

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the amount of each kind of berry used to calculate the total used.
Total used=7 ounces+7 ounces+6 ouncesTotal\, used =7\, ounces +7\, ounces +6\, ounces

STEP 4

Calculate the total amount of berries used.
Total used=7 ounces+7 ounces+6 ounces=20 ouncesTotal\, used =7\, ounces +7\, ounces +6\, ounces =20\, ounces

STEP 5

Now that we have the total amount of berries used, we can find the total amount of berries bought. Since Bella bought1 container of each kind of berry, and each container is12 ounces, the total amount bought is3 times12 ounces.
Total bought=Number of containers×Ounces per containerTotal\, bought = Number\, of\, containers \times Ounces\, per\, container

STEP 6

Plug in the values for the number of containers and ounces per container to calculate the total amount bought.
Total bought=3 containers×12 ounces per containerTotal\, bought =3\, containers \times12\, ounces\, per\, container

STEP 7

Calculate the total amount of berries bought.
Total bought=3 containers×12 ounces per container=36 ouncesTotal\, bought =3\, containers \times12\, ounces\, per\, container =36\, ounces

STEP 8

Now that we have the total amount of berries bought and the total amount used, we can find the amount of berries left. This is the total amount bought minus the total amount used.
Berries left=Total bought−Total usedBerries\, left = Total\, bought - Total\, used

STEP 9

Plug in the values for the total amount bought and the total amount used to calculate the amount of berries left.
Berries left=36 ounces−20 ouncesBerries\, left =36\, ounces -20\, ounces

STEP 10

Calculate the amount of berries left.
Berries left=36 ounces−20 ounces=16 ouncesBerries\, left =36\, ounces -20\, ounces =16\, ouncesBella has16 ounces of berries left.
