There are 78 cookies in box C, 26 cookies in box B and 10 cookies in box A.

let the number of cookies in first box be represented mathematically as B-16

the number of cookies in second box be represented as B

the number of cookies in third box be represented as 3B

Since there are 124 cookies we can make an equation such that it becomes

B-16 +B +3B =124

Solving for B, we have

5B -16 =124

5B =124 +16

5B =130

B=130/5

B=26

Therefore Box A contains B-16 =26-16 =10 cookies

Box C contains 3B =3 X 26=78 cookies

Put the values of the variables in place of the variables in the expression, then do the arithmetic.
