Question

Mark has consumed 5 of a box of cookies, and Patricia has gobbled up

another . If the box origonally had 60 cookies, how many are now
left?​

Answer 1

The answer is 54 cookies

Answer 2

54 Cookies

Explanation:

If Mark had 5 cookies and Patricia had 1 cookie that means 6 cookies were eaten in total (5 + 1 = 6)

If you originally had 60 cookies and 6 were taken away you have 54 cookies remaining (60 - 6 = 54).
