    Let x by the number of cooler

    since each cooler has 25 bottles

    then in total we have 25x

    there are 10 friend in total to divide the bottles equally

    we have 25x/10 this expresses the number of bottles each friend will get

    that answers part a) of the question

    now for part b)

    we are told the friend brought 2 cooler

    then we should have 25 (2) = 50 number of bottles in total

    then it goes that each one of the friend will get 5 bottles (50/10)

    Done!
