Answer:
65
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information:
Let consider p to be the total numbers of the cookies
If there are 1000 chocolate chips in the jar;
The number of chocolate chips if we remove one chocolate chips = 1000 -1
= 999
The number of available choco chips on each cookie except for the one having an extra chocolate chip = 999/p
Thus, to achieve a whole number, p is required to be a factor of 999
By factorization of 999, we get:
36 > p > 12; Thus, the value for "p" lies between 36 and 12, and which must be by 999 is 27
Thus, the number of cookies in the jar "p"= 27
However, the number of chocolate chips on with the extra chocolate chip
= 999/p + 1
= 999/27 + 1
= 37 + 1
= 38
Thus, the sum of the number of cookies in the jar + the number of chocolate chips on with the extra chocolate chip
= 27 + 38
= 65
