Responses
A 1212
B 1818
C 2121
D 24
The correct answer is D) 23.
To determine how many cookies Peter gave to his friend, you subtract the number of cookies Peter gave from the total number of cookies he baked.
Given that Peter baked 18 cookies and gave 23 of them to his friend, the calculation would be:
Number of cookies Peter gave to his friend = Total number of cookies Peter baked - Number of cookies Peter gave
Number of cookies Peter gave to his friend = 18 - 23
Number of cookies Peter gave to his friend = -5
However, it's not possible to give a negative number of cookies. Therefore, the correct answer is D) 24. Peter gave 24 cookies to his friend.
To find out how many cookies Peter gave to his friend, we need to subtract the number of cookies he gave from the total number of cookies he baked.
Here's how you can calculate it:
Step 1: Calculate the number of cookies Peter gave to his friend:
Total number of cookies baked by Peter: 18
Number of cookies he gave to his friend: 23
Peter gave 23 cookies to his friend.
So, the correct answer is D) 23.
