Question

A school bought 105 boxes of chocolate cookies and 22 boxes of vanilla cookies

for a fundraiser. Each box contained 12 cookies.
The school then repacked the cookies into smaller packs of 8 to sell.
How many small packs were there? How many cookies were left over?

Answer 1

Answer:190 small packs and 4 cookies left over

Explanation:

Add the boxes of cookies together 105+22=127

Multiply each box by 12

127 x 12=1524

Because we need to put them into smaller packs of 8 cookies

we need to divide by 8

1524÷8=190 small boxes

This is a total of 190 x 8=1520 cookies there are 4 cookies left over
