There were 24 cookies in the first batch and an unknown number of cookies in the second batch. If each student in a class of 22 students was given a cookie and there are 27 cookies left, how many cookies were in the second batch?
There are 45 in the unknown batch.
22 + 27= 49
49 - 24 = 25
There were 25 cookies in the second batch!
25 because 24-22=2 and 2-27=25.
