To find out how many of each kind of cookie Logan bought, we need to divide the total number of cookies he bought, which is 12, among the three types of cookies: chocolate chip, mint, and peanut butter.
Since the cookies are divided equally into thirds, we can calculate how many cookies are in each third. One-third of 12 is 4, so Logan bought 4 cookies of each kind. Therefore, Logan bought 4 chocolate chip cookies, 4 mint cookies, and 4 peanut butter cookies.
