Nicole baked 144 chocolate chip cookies and 56 peanut butter cookies. She placed the cookies in gift bags. She put 8 cookies in each bag. How many gift bags did Nicole use for the cookies?

Nicole will use 25 bags for the cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we first have to calculate the total number of cookies, for this we have to add the chocolate chip cookies and the peanut butter cookies

chocolate chip cookies = 144

peanut butter cookies = 56

total cookies = 144 + 56

total cookies = 200

Now we divide by 8 which is the amount that goes into each bag

200 / 8 = 25

Nicole will use 25 bags for the cookies.

explanation

the graph has a slope of 1/3 because each time you move up 1, you go to the right 3. so, slope = rise/run = 1/3. we can cross choice a off the list since we want a slope of 3, rather than 1/3.

the first table shown has a slope of -3. this is because the rise is -6 and the run is 2, so slope = rise/run = -6/2 = -3. note how x increases by 2 each time (run) and y drops by 6 each time (rise). choice b can be eliminated.

the second table has a slope of 3. each time x goes up by 1, the y values increase by 3. slope = rise/run = 3/1 = 3. alternatively you can use the slope formula to prove that the slope is 3 here. use any two rows of values to generate the two points. choice c is one of the answers

the third table also has a slope of 3. let's use the slope formula to prove as such. i'm going to use the first two rows of the table. so i'll use the two points (2,1) and (5,10)

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (10-1)/(5-2)

m = 9/3

m = 3 so we get a slope of 3

choice d is the other answer
