Question

Heather and Nicholas are baking cookies for a charity bake sale. First they bake gingersnaps,

which are Heather's favorite cookie. Then they bake 96 chocolate crinkles, which are
Nicholas' favorite. In all, Heather and Nicholas bake 132 cookies.

Answer 1

Heather and Nicholas baked a total of 132 cookies, with 96 being chocolate crinkles. After subtracting the 96 chocolate crinkles, we concluded that they baked 36 gingersnap cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to find out how many gingersnap cookies Heather and Nicholas baked if they baked a total of 132 cookies, and we know that 96 of them were chocolate crinkles (Nicholas' favorite). Let's define the number of gingersnaps as G.

Starting with the total number of cookies, we set up the following equation:

G + 96 = 132

Subtracting 96 from both sides of the equation, we get:

G = 132 - 96

G = 36

Therefore, Heather and Nicholas baked 36 gingersnap cookies.
