Question

A baker has 1,382 chocolate chips. She uses 302 chocolate chips to make chocolate fondue and uses the rest to make chocolate chip cookies. She wants to put exactly 8 chocolate chips in each cookie. How many chocolate chip cookies can the baker make? Answer: _____________________

Answer 1

After using 302 chocolate chips for fondue, the baker has 1,080 chips left. Dividing this by the 8 chips needed per cookie, the baker can make 135 chocolate chip cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many chocolate chip cookies the baker can make, we start by subtracting the number of chocolate chips used to make chocolate fondue from the total number she has:

• Begin with 1,382 chocolate chips.
• Subtract the 302 chocolate chips used for fondue.

1,382 chocolate chips - 302 chocolate chips = 1,080 chocolate chips

Now, since the baker wants to put exactly 8 chocolate chips in each cookie, we'll divide the remaining number of chocolate chips by 8:

1,080 chocolate chips ÷ 8 chocolate chips per cookie = 135 cookies

The baker can make 135 chocolate chip cookies with the remaining chocolate chips.

Answer 2

1382-302= 1080
1080/8
135 cookies
