Bailey is making festive cookie bags. She tried to split all her cookies evenly by putting 15 per bag, but the last bag had only 14 cookies. So, she tried putting 10 cookies per bag, but the last bag had only 9. Her mom brought 2 more cookies. Now, Bailey tries 9, then 8, cookies per bag, but she can’t do it. Finally, Bailey puts 7 cookies in each bag evenly! What is the least possible total number of cookies?

Hi! The answer would be 21.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we must add.

29 is our first number. Bailey cannot evenly split the cookies into each bag with that amount of cookies, so we must move on to the next number.

21 can be divided 3 times by 7. Now we know the least amount of cookies total, is 21.

Hope this helped!

the clues that signal the reader should change tone are the punctuation marks, the grammatical signs. for example, the quotation marks at the beginning of something someone else said literally or the exclamation marks.

the tone of the first line of dialogue until "gettysburg" is a kind tone, a tone of advise. the narrator is trying to the other person in doing something he or she obviously is finding hard to do by giving a piece of advise and bringing up a memory of a successful similar case.

the clue that the reader understand how to read the word "bang" is the exclamation mark. it gives the word a surprise tone, a strong accent.

the best tone for reading the word "bang" is an exciting tone, a surprise one, even a loud one.

the words that should be read with a formal tone are the ones that give factual information. the sentence: mister lincoln couldn't think of anything to say at the gettysburg" gives information about an event and it needs to be read formally, also, when the narrator wants to transmit calmness, a formal and slow tone is needed, because people also transmit messages with the vibrations of our voices and tones.
