30 cookies

Explanation:

So first you find out what 3 dozen is and it is basically 3*12 which is 36. Then, you find out what #\frac {1} {6}# of 36 is and that is 6. Since the question is asking how many Olivia has left, you do 36, the total number of cookies, minus 6, the number of cookies her family ate. This gives you 30 cookies.
