Answer: she can get 27 boxes of cookies and 7 would be leftover.

Explanation:

The total number of cookies that Amy baked is 250. She sells them in boxes of nine. Therefore, the total number of boxes containing 9 cookies each that she can get from a total of 250 cookies would be

250/9 = 27.778

This means that she can only get 27 boxes of cookies.

The number of cookies that would be left over is

250 - (27 × 9) = 250 - 243

= 7
