Francois baked just enough cookies to fill all the orders at his bakery. While the cookies were cooling, a kitchen assistant knocked over a cooling rack and spilled 12% of the cookies onto the floor. Francois had to bake 36 more cookies to replace them.

How many cookies were ordered in total?

    We see that 12% of the cookies is 36, so we write an equation! Call the number of cookies x.

    12x/100=36

    Multiplying by 100/12, we see that:

    x=300

    Thus, 300 cookies were ordered.
