Question

Clementine and Jake make cookies for the school bake sale. Clementine baked 72 cookies. Jake baked twice as many as Clementine. How many cookies did they bake altogether? They baked 216 cookies together.

Answer 1

The total number of cookies they baked altogether is 216 cookies

Explanation:

Here, we want to know the number of cookies that they baked together

From the question, we are told that Clementine baked 72 cookies while Jake baked twice as much

what this mean is that the number of cookies baked by Jake will be (2 * 72) = 144 cookies

Thus, the total number of cookies baked by the two of them will be;

72 + 144 = 216 cookies
