Question

Mark baked 1962 cookies and tried to divide them equally into 130 packs. How many cookies did Mark put in each packet and how many would be left out?

• A. 20, 15
• B. 12, 10
• C. 13, 11
• D. 15, 12

Answer 1

The correct option is D 15, 12

Total number of cookies = 1962
Number of packs = 130
To get the number of cookies in each packet, we need to divide 1962 by 130.

$$\begin{array}{c}15\\ 1301962\\ -\underset{–}{130}2\\ 662\\ -\underset{–}{650}\\ 12\end{array}$$Thus, we have a quotient of 15 and a remainder of 12.
So, Mark put 15 cookies into each pack and 12 cookies were left out.
