Question

Jeanie's classmate has agreed to bring 100 cookies for a bake sale. Jeanie can make batches of 24 cookies. Jeanie wants to have at least 200 cookies at the bake sale.

Answer 1

If you're asking how many batches she needs to make, it would be at least 5.

Explanation:

200 - 100 = 100.

Jeanie needs 100 cookies, and there are 24 in each batch she makes.

100 divided by 24 = 4.16(repeating)

In this case, she can't make .16 batches, it needs to be a whole number.

Since 4 batches would be too little, she would need to make 5 to have enough cookies.
