Question

Grandma baked

96
cookies and gave them to her grandchildren. One of the grandchildren, Cindy, received
c
cc fewer cookies than she would have received had all of the cookies been evenly divided among the
8 grandchildren.

Answer 1

96/8 - c.

Explanation:

She is divideing among the grandkids so it would be 98/8-c

Answer 2

`12-c` Cookies

Explanation:

The question is to find how many cookies did Cindy receive (write as an expression)?

Total cookies baked = 96

If evenly divided among 8 grandchildren, each would get:

`(96)/(8)=12`

Each grandchildren would have gotten 12 cookies

Now, Cindy received "c" fewer than this (12), so Cindy received:

12 - c Cookies

Cindy Received = 12 - c Cookies
