Question

Emily baked 3 batches of 13 sugar cookies each. She ate 2 of the cookies and gave 10 of them to her neighbor. In return, her neighbor gave her half of a batch of a dozen chocolate chip cookies. How many cookies does Emily have?

cookies

Answer 1

Emily have 33 cookies.

Explanation:

Given that:

Batches of cookies baked = 3

Number of cookies in each batch = 13

Total number of cookies = 3 * 13 = 39 cookies

She ate 2 cookies.

Remaining = 39 - 2 = 37 cookies

She gave 10 to her neighbor

Remaining = 37 - 10 = 27 cookies

1 batch = dozen cookies

half batch = 6 cookies

Total cookies = 27 + 6 = 33 cookies

Hence,

Emily have 33 cookies.
