Question

The Bearisters pack 37 cookies for each of the four members. How many cookies did they pack in total?

• A. $148$
• B. $140$
• C. $159$
• D. $155$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $148$

Number of cookies packed for each member $=37$
Let’s split $37$ into tens and ones.
$37=30+7=3$ tens and $7$ ones $=3$ rods and 7 blocks

Let’s represent one rod as one ten i.e., 10 cookies and one block as 1 cookie.
We have 3 rods and 7 blocks in each group and there are 4 such groups. So, we will have $12$ rods and $28$ blocks.

We know that grouping $10$ blocks will give us one rod. Group the blocks to see how many rods we can make.
Total number of cookies packed = 148
