The greatest number of cookies Mary can buy is 11.

Amount of money with Mary=$35

Amount spent on purchasing 2 loaves of bread for $3 each = 2*3 = 6$

Amount spent on purchasing a cake = $15

Amount left with Mary = 35-6-15 =$14

The greatest number of cookies Mary can buy now is the maximum number of cookies that she can buy for $14.

Price of one cookie = $1.25

So, the number of cookies that can be bought in $14 = 14/1.25 =11.2

Hence, the greatest number of cookies Mary can buy is 11.
