Question

A bakery packed 328 chocolate cookies and 169 fruit cookies together in 7 boxes.

How many cookies are there in a box?

• A. 71
• B. 65
• C. 49
• D. 56

Answer 1

The correct option is A 71

Number of chocolate cookies = 328
Number of fruit cookies = 169

∴ Total number of cookies in
7 boxes = 328 + 169 = 497

So, number of cookies in
1 box = (497 $÷$ 7)

Let us divide the numbers using place value.

So, at first, we write the expanded form of the dividend 497.


Let's divide each of these places with the divisor 7.

After division by place value, we add the partial quotients to get the final answer.


The final quotient is 71.


Hence, each box has 71 cookies.
