The solution by Aaronwu is incorrect. I decided to show the correc answe

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 of plain cookies + plain cookies = 4 parts. 60/4=15

there are 15 raisin, and 45 plain. Lets say chantalle ate x cookies, for all 0

That means there are 15-x raisin left, and 45-x plain left.

(45-x)-(15-x)=45-x-15+x=30. No matter the amount chantalle eats, the difference will always be 30
