Math Problem Statement

The cook family bought bag of cookies each bag had 16 cookies they have since eaten 25 of the cookies how many cookies do they have left

Solution

To find out how many cookies the Cook family has left, let's break it down:

  1. Let xx be the total number of bags of cookies they bought.
  2. Each bag contains 16 cookies.
  3. So, the total number of cookies they had is 16x16x.
  4. They've eaten 25 cookies, so the remaining cookies is 16x2516x - 25.

To find out exactly how many cookies they have left, we need to know how many bags of cookies they bought. Could you provide that information?
