The answer would be C/ 80 cookies.
All i did was reverse operation basically with all the answer choices i multiplied it by 0.50 then i subtracted each one by 25. i did it with all of them and the only one who gave me 15 was C
hopefully it made sense and helped!:)
if you have any questions you can ask me!
