Answer:
The total number of cookies is 90
Step-by-step explanation:
As, they said 40% of the total number of cookies is 36, we will take the total as "x"
= 40% of x = 36
40/100 X x = 36
40x = 36 x 100
40x = 3600
x = 3600/40
x = 90
So total cookies she baked = 90
Let's check!
So 40% of 90 need to be 36
So,
40/100 x 90 = 3600/100
= 36
So therefore, total number of cookies = 90
