Question

Sherry brings two containers of cookies to a party. Each container contains 6 cookies. Sally shows up with a dozen cookies. Sandy arrives with 2 cookies and 10 donuts. How many cookies will Harry need to bring if the total cookie count is 4 dozen

Answer 1

22 cookies

Explanation:

A dozen items means 12 number of items.

Number of cookies brought by Sherry = No. of containers multiplied by number of cookies in one container

= 2
`*` 6 = 12

Number of cookies brought by Sally = A dozen cookies = 12

Number of cookies brought by Sandy = 2

Number of cookies brought by Sherry, Sally and Sandy together = 12 + 12+2 = 26

Total number of cookies to be brought = 4 dozen = 48 cookies

Number of cookies to be brought by Harry = Total number of cookies to be brought - Number of cookies brought by Sherry, Sally and Sandy together

48 - 26 = 22 cookies
