Answer:
Total number of cookies is 128
Step-by-step explanation:
Somya and the other sisters eat 3 cookies each; 3*4=12
12 cookies are one fourth of the parts left by the other 3 sisters. So Swetha, Swarna and Sneha eat 12 each; 12*4=48
48 is 2/4 of the part left by Shwetha and swarna after eating 24 each; 24*4=96
96 is 3/4 parts left by Shwetha after eating 32 cookies; So the total is32*4=128
