Answer 1

27 cookies

Explanation:

We Know

Each batch makes 24 cookies.

Ralph makes 2 1/2 batches of oatmeal cookies.

2.5 x 24 = 60 cookies

Ralph gives away 1/4 of his cookies to his class at school.

60 - (60 x 1/4) = 45 cookies he has left

2/5 of his remaining cookies to his bus driver.

45 - (45 x 2/5) = 27 cookies

So, Ralph has 27 cookies left.
