To determine if each friend can get what they want, we need to calculate the number of cookies each friend wants and compare it to the total number of cookies available.
First, let's calculate how many cookies each friend wants:
Jerry wants 25% of the cookies.
25% of 36 cookies = (25/100) * 36 = 9 cookies
Gary wants half (1/2) of the cookies.
1/2 of 36 cookies = (1/2) * 36 = 18 cookies
Terry wants 0.75 of the cookies.
0.75 of 36 cookies = (0.75) * 36 = 27 cookies
Now, let's check if each friend can get what they want:
Jerry wants 9 cookies.
Gary wants 18 cookies.
Terry wants 27 cookies.
Adding up the number of cookies each friend wants: 9 + 18 + 27 = 54 cookies.
Since the friends want a total of 54 cookies and there are only 36 cookies available, it is not possible for each friend to get exactly what they want.
