Yes, she can, because if every person gets 15 cookies that's 75 cookies in total which means she will have 25 cookies leftover. Sophia could even give everyone 20 cookies but have no cookies leftover.

Answer 2

she can give 15 cookies to 5 people.
15x5=75
75 is less than 100, so she can give out cookies and still have 25 left over.
