Hey there!

According to the question we can set up an equation to find out the number of cookies n she can buy.

Things she have or must buy are:
$\bullet$ $64 Skater board
$\bullet$ $ 10.85 stationary
$\bullet $ cookies worth $ 1.65 each

So, if she bought n number of cookies then she actually spent $\displaystyle n \times 1.65$ $ on cookies.

So, finally we can set up an equation as follows:

$\tt 64+10.85+(1.65n)=98$ , solve this equation and find the value of n
