Brandy made 7 batches of cookies each batch contains 12 cookies she put the same number of cookies in each of 5 bags how many cookies were not put in bags

Question
Answer:
You'll be able to fit 16 full cookies in each bag, but have 4 cookies left over.   7x12=84   but 84/5=16.8  so what id was basically draw out he five bags, and put a batch in each bag.                                                                               Bag 1: 12 cookies Bag 2:12 cookies Bag 3:12cookies Bag 4:12cookeis Bag 5:12cookies So far every bag has 12 cookies (1 batch in each bag, 5 batches). now we have two batches left. So, you would divide the 24 cookies evenly into the 5 bags. what I did to simplify it was take 20/24 cookies and divide them into 5 bags. now each bag has 16 cookies(Add 4 cookies to each of the 5 bags. 20/5=4) There are still 4 cookies left, and you cant divide them evenly among the five bags. So we have 4 cookies that were not put in bags. 
 I hope this makes sense/helped!! XD
