Answer 1

There are p cookies in a container.

(a) 15 cookies are added. How many cookies are there in the container?

Answer:- p + 15

(b) 15 cookies are eaten. How many cookies are left?

Answer:- p - 15

(C) How many cookies are there in 5 such containers?

Answer:- p × 5 = 5p

(d) All the cookies in 5 such containers are put equally into 12 bowls. How many cookies are there in each bowl?

Answer:- the number of cookies in 5 such containers are 5p

5p = 12

p = 12 / 5

p = 2.4

Answer 2

Number Of Cookies in a Container= P

a) 15 cookies are added to P
ans) If 15 is added to P, The algebraic expression will be
P+15
Which means there are 15 more cookies than before

b) 15 cookies are eaten if the value of cookies is P
ans) If 15 is subtracted from P, the algebraic expression will be
P-15
Which means there are 15 cookies less than before

c) Amount of cookies in 5 such containers
ans) If there were P number of cookies in 1 container, then if we take 5 such containers
P will be multiplied by 5 which is P*5
Which equals to 5p

d) All the cookies in 5 such containers are equally put into 12 bowls. Number of cookies in each bowl.
ans) Number of cookies in 5 containers = 5p
Number of bowls=12
Number of cookies in each bowl= 12/5
= 2.4 of P cookies in each bowl
