Which equation can be used to find C, the total number of cookies they ate?
O A, C = (4x 16) + 6
OB, C = (4 + 16) - 6
OC, C = (6 x 16) - 4
OD. C = (4x 16) - 6
O E C = (6 + 16) + 4

Answer 1

Answer is D

C = (4 x 16) - 6

Explanation:

There is 4 packages. Packages can hold many cookies in this case 16 cookies can be placed inside 1 package.

The total number of cookies can be calculated:

16 x 4 (4 packages altogether with 16 cookies in each package)

They did not eat 6 cookies so 6 cookies are leftover or remaining:

(16 x 4) - 6 (subtract 6 because they did not eat it, we want what they already ate - takeaway 6)

Basically means: The Total minus The Remaining

(The Total - The Remaining)
