Baking - Word Story Problem

Rebecca wants to bake cookies and cupcakes for a bake sale. She can bake 15 cookies and 12 cupcakes at a time. She needs to make at least 120 backed goods, but no more than 360, and she wants to have at least three times as many cookies as cupcakes. What combination of batches of each could Rebecca make?

Can she bake two batches of cookies at a time?
Can she bake two batches of cupcakes at a time?
Must she bake a batch of cookies when she bakes a batch of cupcakes?
My sense, from experience, is that the problem should read cookies OR cupcakes. Yes?
