Nora baked 5 times as many as Rohani.Both of them baked an average of 360 cookies.How many cookies did Nora baked?

Let the number of cookies Rohani baked be \( x \).

Since Nora baked 5 times as many cookies as Rohani, Nora baked \( 5x \) cookies.

The average number of cookies they both baked is 360, which means:

\[
\frac{x + 5x}{2} = 360
\]

Simplifying the left side:

\[
\frac{6x}{2} = 360
\]

\[
3x = 360
\]

Now, solve for \( x \):

\[
x = \frac{360}{3} = 120
\]

Since Nora baked 5 times as many cookies as Rohani, the number of cookies Nora baked is:

\[
5x = 5 \times 120 = 600
\]

So, Nora baked 600 cookies.
