Given the statement:
Jessica baked 10 dozen cookies. She left 1/8 of the baked cookies home and took the rest to school for the bake sale.
Determine how many cookies did Jessica take to school.
Solution:
In order to determine how many cookies did Jessica take to school we must first multiply 10 by 12 since 1 dozen is equal to 12 in order to know the total numbe rof cookies.
= (12)(10)
= 120
Now we need to take 1/8 of 120, to do so, we multiply 1/8 to 120.
= (1/8)(120)
=120/8
= 15
Subtract 15 to 120
= 120 - 15
= 105
FInal answer:
Jessica took 105 cookies to her school.
