Question: Katrina has 120 cookies to sell at her bakery. She plans to take home any cookies she doesn’t sell by the end of the day. In the morning, she sells 3 dozen cookies. During the lunch rush, she sells 57 cookies. In the afternoon, she sells 16 more cookies. How many cookies does she have left to take home?
