It's Girl Scout cookie time again!


 

Let your students talk about their favorite Girl Scout cookies as they figure out what the local GS chapter really earns from these sales.  Use this old graphic (where a box only costs $4.00) to figure out what part of the proceeds goes to the troop.  What is presently paid to the bakeries? Is there more to selling cookies than just earning dough?

For Adventurer members we have an editable Word docx, an Excel calculation sheet, and solutions.
