Q. Alice signed up to bake chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin cookies for a bake sale. After she made cc chocolate chip cookies, Alice decided to make 1212 fewer oatmeal raisin cookies, since they are less popular. She only made 2424 oatmeal raisin cookies.\newlineWhich diagram models the story?\newlineWhich equation models the story?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) c+12=24c + 12 = 24\newline(B) c12=24c - 12 = 24
  1. Subtract 1212 from cc: Alice made cc chocolate chip cookies and 2424 oatmeal raisin cookies, which is 1212 fewer than the chocolate chip cookies. To find the relationship between cc and the oatmeal raisin cookies, we subtract 1212 from cc: c12c - 12.
  2. Set up the equation: We know Alice made 2424 oatmeal raisin cookies, so we set up the equation c12=24c - 12 = 24 to represent this situation.
  3. Solve the equation: To find the value of cc, we solve the equation:\newlinec12=24c - 12 = 24\newlinec=24+12c = 24 + 12\newlinec=36c = 36
