Answer 1

Given, the ratio of 8 cookies in the purchased boxes to remaining stored boxes in the cookie shop is 8 : 2. Therefore,

$\frac{\text{Number of cookies in purchased box}}{\text{Number of cookies in stored boxes in the shop}}=\frac{8}{2}$

So, the number of remaining cookies in unpurchased stored boxes in the cookie shop $=2$
