Question

Ellie and Jamie like to bake cookies. Ellie baked 24 chocolate chip cookies, and Jamie baked p peanut butter cookies. Together they baked a total of 56 cookies. Write an equation that can be solved for p to find the number of cookies Jamie baked?

Answer 1

p would equal total cookies minus the total chocolate chip cookies:

p = 56 -24

p = 32

There were 32 peanut butter cookies made.
