Question

Nicole baked 144 chocolate chip cookies and 56 peanut butter cookies. She placed the cookies in gift bags. She put 8 cookies in each bag. How many gift bags did Nicole use for the cookies?

Answer 1

Nicole used 25 gift bags for the cookies.

Explanation:

144 + 56 = 200

200 / 8 = 25

Answer 2

Nicole will use 25 bags for the cookies

Explanation:

To solve this problem we first have to calculate the total number of cookies, for this we have to add the chocolate chip cookies and the peanut butter cookies

chocolate chip cookies = 144

peanut butter cookies = 56

total cookies = 144 + 56

total cookies = 200

Now we divide by 8 which is the amount that goes into each bag

200 / 8 = 25

Nicole will use 25 bags for the cookies.
