\blue{\huge{\red{\boxed{\green{\mathfrak{FORMULA}}}}}}


\tiny{ \tiny{NUMBER \: OF \: BOXES \: = (TOTAL \: NUMBER \: OF \: COOKIES )/(NUMBER \: OF \: COOKES \: EACH \: B AG \: CAN \: HOLD) }}


\huge\mathbb{\red A \pink{N}\purple{S} \blue{W} \orange{ER}}


\tiny{ \tiny{NUMBER \: OF \: BOXES \: = (TOTAL \: NUMBER \: OF \: COOKIES )/(NUMBER \: OF \: COOKES \: EACH \: B AG \: CAN \: HOLD) }}


NUMBER \: OF \: BOXES = (268)/(8) = 33 (4)/(8) \\ NUMBER \: OF \: BOXES = 33 \: + 4 \: cookes \:


\pink{Number \: of \: boxes = 33} \\ \orange {Number \: of \: cookes \: left = 268- 264 = 4}

If he uses 4 cookes to make one more box then he will have -->


\pink{Number \: of \: boxes = 34}
