Alan has a box of cookies. 25% of the cookies are chocolate-flavoured. 1/9 of the remaining cookies are butterscotch-flavoured. The other 16 cookies are caramel-flavoured. Find the total number of cookies in the box.
25% = 1/4
1/4 --> chocolate-flavoured
(3/4 * 1/9) --> Butterscotch-flavoured
[1-1/4-(3/4*1/9) --> Caramel-flavoured = 16. 2/3 of cookies --> 16
∴ Total number of cookies = 16 / 2/3
= 24.
