(2) At the bakery, there are 5 rows with 12 chocolate chip cookies on each tray. There are 2 trays with 14 cookies on each tray. If 7 cookies are sold. How many cookies are left?

Answer 1

Explanation:

1) If a farm has 15 rows of fruit trees with 7 trees in each row, the total number of trees in the farm will be 15*7 = 105 trees

If the last four rows of trees are cherry trees, the total numner of cherry trees will be 4 * 7 = 28 trees

Let the total trees in the farm = number of cherry trees + orange trees

orange trees = total trees - cherry trees

orange trees = 105 - 28

orange trees = 77 tress

Hence there are 77 orange trees in the farm

2) If at the bakery, there are 5 rows with 12 chocolate chip cookies on each tray, the total number of cookies on the tray will be 5 * 12 = 60 chocolate cookies

Also if there are 2 trays with 14 cookies on each tray, the total cookies on both tray s will be 2 * 14 = 28 cookies

If 7 cookies are sold, the number of cookies left will be 28 - 7 = 14 cookies

Hence 14cookies will be left over
