Answer:
3 peanut cookies
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Plate 1:
Number of chocolate chip = 4
Number of peanut butter cookies = 1
Probability of drawing chocolate chip cookies from plate 1 :
Probability =( number of required outcome / Total possible outcomes)
P(chocolate chip) = 4 / 5
Plate 2:
Number of chocolate chip = 2
Number of peanut butter cookies = p
P(chocolate chip) = 2 / (2 + p)
Probability of drawing chocolate chip from plate 1 and then plate 2 = 8/ 25
(4/5) * 2/(2+p) = 8/ 25
8 / (10 + 5p) = 8/ 25
8(10 + 5p) = 8 * 25
80 + 40p = 200
40p = 200 - 80
40p = 120
p = 3
