Raymond normally has a snack consisting of ten 12-calorie crackers. How many 20-calorie cookies would he have to eat to consume the same number of calories?

Work Shown:

He eats ten 12-calorie crackers, so that is 10*12 = 120 calories total

If x is the number of 20-calorie cookies, then the total number of calories here is 20x. We want this to be 120, so,

20x = 120

x = 120/20 divide both sides by 20

x = 6

He must eat six 20-calorie cookies to get 120 calories total

6 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

First, multiply 10*12 to see how many calories he normally eats.

10*12 = 120

Then, divide by 20 to see how many cookies he can eat to keep the same number of calories.

120/20 = 6
