Answer 2

Answer: There are 20 chips that the company claim in each cookie.

Explanation:

Let the number of chips each cookie has be 'c'.

Number of cookies = 10

Number of chips = 200

so, our equation would be

`10c=200`

So, we need to find the chips that the company claim in each cookie.

So, it becomes,

`10c=200\\\\c=(200)/(10)\\\\c=20`

Hence, there are 20 chips that the company claim in each cookie.
