Q. Alice signed up to bake chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin cookies for a bake sale. After she made c chocolate chip cookies, Alice decided to make 12 fewer oatmeal raisin cookies, since they are less popular. She only made 24 oatmeal raisin cookies.Which diagram models the story?Which equation models the story?Choices:(A) c+12=24(B) c−12=24
Subtract 12 from c: Alice made c chocolate chip cookies and 24 oatmeal raisin cookies, which is 12 fewer than the chocolate chip cookies. To find the relationship between c and the oatmeal raisin cookies, we subtract 12 from c: c−12.
Set up the equation: We know Alice made 24 oatmeal raisin cookies, so we set up the equation c−12=24 to represent this situation.
Solve the equation: To find the value of c, we solve the equation:c−12=24c=24+12c=36
