Give the step-by-step reasoning process and then the final answer. Linda was going to pass out homemade cookies to each of her 24 classmates on the last day of school. She wanted to give each student 10 cookies and wanted to make chocolate chip cookies and oatmeal raisin cookies. Each cookie recipe made exactly 4 dozen cookies. She was able to make 2 batches of chocolate chip cookies before running out of chocolate chips. She made 1 batch of oatmeal raisin cookies. How many more batches of cookies does Linda need to bake?

She has 24 classmates and wants to give each 10 cookies, so she needs to bake 24 * 10 = 240 cookies. Each batch makes 4 dozen cookies so that means each batch has 4 * 12 = 48 cookies. She baked 2 batches of chocolate chip and one batch of oatmeal raisin so 2 + 1 = 3 batches. We know that each batch has 48 cookies so 3 * 48 = 144 cookies have been baked. She needs to have 240 cookies and has baked 144 so 240 - 144 = 96 cookies are needed. Again, each batch makes 48 cookies and we need 96 more cookies so 96 / 48 = 2 more batches are needed.
The final answer: 2.
