a baker makes chocolate cookies and peanut cookies . his recipes allow him to make chocolate cookie in batches of 5 and peanut cookies in batches of 6 . if he makes exactly 94 cookies , what is the minimum number of chocolate chip cookies he makes ?
5 c + 6 p = 94 we need to maximize p to minimize c so that the eq is also satisfied try substitution for cp to solve so that eqn is satisfied the least value of c for which equation gets satisfied is 5 i . e . 5 * 8 + 6 * 9 = 40 + 54 = 94 hence e is the answer
a ) 7 , b ) 14 , c ) 21 , d ) 28 , e ) 40
e
multiply(divide(subtract(94, reminder(94, add(5, 6))), add(5, 6)), 5)
add(n0,n1)|reminder(n2,#0)|subtract(n2,#1)|divide(#2,#0)|multiply(n0,#3)

when y is divided by 264 , the remainder is 42 . what is the remainder when the same y is divided by 22 ?
"y = 264 * a + 42 = ( 22 * 12 ) * a + 22 + 20 the answer is e ."
a ) 12 , b ) 14 , c ) 16 , d ) 18 , e ) 20
e
reminder(42, 22)
reminder(n1,n2)|
