Question

The Cookie Monster stole 4 cookies before getting caught by grandma Cookie Monster.He continues stealing cookies when he gets caught. If he steals no less than 10 cookie how many more cookies does he need to steal?

Answer 1

Answer:

Cookie monster needs to steal at least 6 cookies more.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of cookies already stole = 4

Total number of cookies he wants to steal $\geq 10$

We need to find how many cookie he needs to steal more.

Solution:

Let number of cookies he needs to steal more be 'x'.

Now we can say that;

Number of cookies already stole plus number of cookies he needs to steal more should be greater than or equal to Total number of cookies he wants to steal

framing in equation form we get;

$4+x\geq 10$

Now using Subtraction property of Inequality we will subtract both side by 4 we get;

$4+x-4\geq 10-4\\\\x\geq 6$

Hence Cookie monster needs to steal at least 6 cookies more.
