Question

7 times the number of cookies in the jar plus 5 more from the tray is 54. How many cookies are in the jar?

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of cookies in the jar is 7.

If we include the 5 cookies from the tray in the jar the total number of cookies would be 5 + 7 = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the number of cookies in the jar as 'x'. Hence the equation formed would be:-

7(x) + 5 = 54

7x + 5 = 54

7x = 54 - 5

7x = 49

x = $\frac{49}{7}$

x = 7

The number of cookies in the jar is 7.

If we include the 5 cookies from the tray in the jar the total number of cookies would be 5 + 7 = 12

Hope this helps.
