Answer:
[tex]12-c[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that grandma baked 96 cookies and gave them to her grandchildren. One of the grandchildren, Cindy, received c fewer cookies than she would have received had all of the cookies been evenly divided among the 8 grandchildren.
Let us find the number of cookies that each grandchildren will receive, if all of the cookies been evenly divided among the 8 grandchildren by dividing 96 by 8.
[tex]\text{When cookies are evenly divided each grandchildren will receive}=\frac{96}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\text{When cookies are evenly divided each grandchildren will receive}=12[/tex]
Each grandchildren would have received 12 cookies, if the cookies had been evenly divided. Since Cindy got c fewer cookies, so we will subtract c cookies from 12.
Therefore, Cindy will receive [tex]12-c[/tex] cookies.
