Let c represent the total number of cookies Amelia baked.
The total number of cookies she gave away is equal to 5 times the number of friends, or 5 * 8 = 40.
Therefore, c = 40.
c = 40
Yes, that's correct! The algebraic equation would be c = 40, where c represents the total number of cookies Amelia baked.
