Amelia bake some cookies she was able to give five cookies to each eight friends without having any cookies left over how could you set up this problem as an algebraic equation and find out how many cookies Amelia Bates in total

Answer 1

Let x be the total number of cookies Amelia baked.

If she gives five cookies to each of her eight friends, she has given a total of 5 * 8 = <<5*8=40>>40 cookies.

Since she gave away all of her cookies, the equation would be x = 40.

Therefore, Amelia baked a total of 40 cookies.
