20, he will have about 8 left

Answer 2

Explanation:

Mr. Adams will fill 21 plates, and he will have 5 extra cookies.

To find the number of plates filled by Mr. Adams, we need to divide 730 cookies by 35 cookies per plate:

730 ÷ 35 = 21

So, Mr. Adams will fill 21 plates.

To find the number of extra cookies, we use the modulo operator to find the remainder after dividing 730 by 35:

730 % 35 = 5

So, Mr. Adams will have 5 extra cookies.
