Answer:
24cookies
Step-by-step explanation:
In the jar contains cookies, probability of randomly selecting an oatmeal-raisin cookie = 1/6,
probability of selecting a sugar cookie = 1/8
If the remaining cookies in the jar are chocolate, the probability of choosing the remaining cookies taking 1 as the total probability will be (1-1/6+1/8)
1/6+1/8 = 4+3/24
= 7/24
the probability of choosing the remaining cookies will be 1-7/24 = 17/24
The number of cookies in the jar could be 24cookies which is the total outcome i.e the lowest common multiple of their probabilities.
