Problem Setup

🍪 A bakery bakes 144 cookies and packs them equally into nine boxes.
🛍️ Cindy buys one of these boxes and eats five cookies.
❓ The goal is to determine how many cookies are left in Cindy's box.

Calculating Cookies Per Box

➗ To find the number of cookies in each box, divide the total cookies (144) by the number of boxes (9).
🔢 144 divided by 9 equals 16, meaning there are 16 cookies in each box.

Determining Remaining Cookies

🛒 Cindy buys one box, so she initially has 16 cookies.
😋 She then eats five of those cookies.
🍰 Subtracting the eaten cookies: 16 - 5 = 11.
✅ Cindy is left with 11 cookies in her box.
