Answer:

15 oatmeal cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

Without writing it out, a method you could use to figure this out is by first dividing 25 by 5, which is 5. Next, multiply the numerator, 3, by 5 to get 15.

Therefore, 15 of the 25 cookies were oatmeal cookies.

2 less then 3 times a number is 9

Masteriza [31]

$\huge\boxed{\text{As an expression:}\ 3x-2=9}$

$\huge\boxed{\text{Solved for x:}\ x=\frac{11}{3}}$

Let's start with " $3$ times a number". We will use $x$ to represent the number. $3x$

" $2$ less than" is next. $-2$

Finally, "is $9$ ". $=9$

Put it all together to get an expression. $\boxed{3x-2=9}$

Now, let's solve for the unknown number.

Add $2$ on both sides of the equation. $3x=11$

Divide both sides of the equation by $3$ to isolate $x$ . $x=\boxed{\frac{11}{3}}$
