Question

Clementine and Jake make cookies for the school bake sale. Clementine baked 72 cookies. Jake baked twice as many as Clementine. How many cookies did they bake altogether?

Answer 1

216

Explanation:

Given that,

Clementine baked 72 cookies and Jake baked twice as many as Clementine.

We need to find the number of cookies they bakle altogether.

No. of cookies baked by Jake = 2 (No. of cookies baked by Clementine)

= 2 × 72

= 144

Total cookies = cookies baked by Jake + cookies baked by Clementine

= 72 + 144

= 216

Hence, total cookies baked are 216.
