Each friend got 3 cookies

Answer: 3 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

Let each friend get cookies  = x

If there are 7 friends in the picnic, then the cookies are eaten by friends = 7x

Since, after distributing the cookies 3 cookies left,

Thus, the total number of cookies = 7x + 3

But, the total number of cookies = 24

⇒ 7x + 3 = 24

⇒ 7x = 21

⇒ x = 3

Hence, one friend gets cookies = 3.
