Francois baked just enough cookies to fill all the orders at his bakery. While the cookies were cooling, a kitchen assistant knocked over a cooling rack and spilled 1 2 % , percent of the cookies onto the floor. Francois had to bake 36 more cookies to replace them.

Respuesta :

If 36 = 12% of the cookies, the total number of cookies equals x in the following equation:
[tex] \frac{36}{.12}= \frac{x}{1} [/tex]

So [tex]x = \frac{36}{.12} = 300 [/tex] cookies in total!
