Answer: 168

Step-by-step explanation: If it's wrong sorry.

you first set up a proportion with the given information, chocolate chips on top and the cookie number of bottom. For the second fraction in the proportion you put x/24 because we're assuming x is the number of cookies and we get 24 on the bottom because it says two dozen cookies. the proporiton will then look like this: 7/1=x/24 you then cross multiply and get, x=168. The answer is 168
