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? A) 24/p = 56 B) p - 24 = 56 C) p + 24 = 56 B) 24p = 56

Answer 1

C) p + 24 = 56

Explanation:

The total number of cookies baked = Number of cookies Ellie baked + Number of cookies Jamie baked

Ellie baked 24 chocolate chip cookies.

Jamie baked p peanut butter cookies.

Total of 56 cookies.

Hence:

56 = p + 24

Therefore, the equation that can be solved for p to find the number of cookies Jamie baked is

p + 24 = 56

Option C is the correct option
