Answer:

11 dozen cookies is equal to 132.

24 cookies is equal to 2 dozen since 1 dozen is equal to 12.

All you have to do is subtract 24 or 2 dozen cookies from 11 dozen cookies (132).

11 dozen (132) minus 2 dozen (24) equals 9 dozen (108)

She can fill 9 boxes since each box can fit a dozen cookies.

Explanation:

Hope it helps! =D

11 dozen=12*11=132
132-24=108
