Complete Question
A baker's dozen (13) of cookies is on sale for $2.08. What is the cost of an individual cookie?
Answer:
The cost of an individual cookie is $0.16
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Specifically, it was stated that the baker's dozen is 13 pieces
Hence. A dozen cookies = 13 cookies
Price of a dozen cookies = $2.08
In other words, the price of 13 cookies is $2.08
To get the cost of an individual cookie, we have to divide the price of a dozen cookies by the number of cookies. This is calculated as follows:
[tex]Cost of Cookies = \frac{Price of Cookies}{Number of Cookies}[/tex]
By Substituting the right values,
[tex]Cost of Cookies = \frac{Price of Cookies}{Number of Cookies}[/tex]
becomes
[tex]Cost of Cookies = \frac{2.08}{13}[/tex]
[tex]Cost of Cookies = 0.16[/tex]
Hence, the cost of an individual cookie is $0.16
