Marissa is serving her kids lunch. Each kid gets a burger with 400 calories and 5 carrot sticks with 20 calories each, and some cookies with 50 calories each. Marissa wants each kid to eat a total of 750 calories for lunch. How many cookies does each kid get?
First figure out how many total calories come from the carrots by multiplying the calories per carrot by the number of carrots: 20 calories/carrot * 5 carrots = <<20*5=100>>100 calories
Then subtract the calories the kids have already eaten from the goal number of calories to find out how many more total calories they should eat: 750 calories - 400 calories - 100 calories = <<750-400-100=250>>250 calories
Then divide the total number of calories by the calories per cookie to find the number of cookies each kid gets: 250 calories / 50 calories/cookie = <<250/50=5>>5 cookies
