In our math project, the problem is that we don’t know how many cookies are supposed to be in each container. One day, someone bought 12 cookies. Then the next day the person went to the store and bought 3 times the amount of cookies she bought the day before. After she walks out of the store, someone takes 8 cookies out of her hand.When she gets home she needs to put the number of the cookies she has left into 4 containers. The expression is (12•3-8)/4. We solved this by using the order of operations. First, we multiply 12 and 3 to equal 36. Next, we take away 8 from 36 which is 28. Last, we divide 28 by 4 and end up with 7. So that means that we have 7 cookies in each container.
