Question

Peter made five less than triple as many cookies as Mark did. Let c represent the number of cookies Mark made. Write an expression to determine the number of cookies Peter made

Answer 1

Answer: 3c - 5

Explanation:

Since c represent the number of cookies that Mark made. We are then informed that Peter made five less than triple as many cookies as Mark. This will be:

= (3 × c) - 5

= 3c - 5

The expression is 3c - 5
