Emily baked 3 batches of 13 sugar cookies each. She ate 2 of the cookies and gave 10 of them to her neighbor. In return, her neighbor gave her half of a batch of a dozen chocolate chip cookies. How many cookies does Emily have? in order of operation
To find out how many cookies Emily has, we'll perform the operations in the correct order:
1. Emily baked 3 batches of 13 sugar cookies each:
3 batches * 13 cookies/batch = 39 sugar cookies
2. Emily ate 2 of the sugar cookies:
39 sugar cookies - 2 cookies = 37 sugar cookies
3. Emily gave 10 sugar cookies to her neighbor:
37 sugar cookies - 10 cookies = 27 sugar cookies
4. Emily received half of a batch of a dozen chocolate chip cookies from her neighbor:
1/2 batch * 12 cookies/batch = 6 chocolate chip cookies
5. Finally, to find out the total number of cookies Emily has, we add the remaining sugar cookies and the chocolate chip cookies:
27 sugar cookies + 6 chocolate chip cookies = 33 cookies
Therefore, Emily has 33 cookies in total.
To calculate how many cookies Emily has, let's break down the problem step by step using the order of operations.
1. Start with the number of cookies Emily baked: 3 batches * 13 cookies/batch = 39 cookies.
2. Subtract the number of cookies Emily ate: 39 cookies - 2 cookies = 37 cookies.
3. Subtract the number of cookies Emily gave to her neighbor: 37 cookies - 10 cookies = 27 cookies.
4. Convert the half batch of a dozen chocolate chip cookies to a specific amount: half of a batch * 12 cookies/batch = 6 cookies.
5. Add the chocolate chip cookies Emily received from her neighbor: 27 cookies + 6 cookies = 33 cookies.
Therefore, Emily has 33 cookies.
(3 * 13) - 2 - 10 + 12/2 = ?
I'll let you do the calculations.
